More From Robert Hass

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

Cannibals? who is not a cannibal? i tell you it will be more tolerable for the fejee that salted down a lean missionary in his cellar against a coming famine; it will be more tolerable for that provident fejee, i say, in the day of judgement, than for thee, civilized and enlightened gourmand, who nailest geese to the ground and feastest on their bloated livers in thy pate de fois gras.
Judgement Missionary Enlightened
I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. and parts are written better when you're older. when you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. you're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. so i find it just much more liberating.
Men Inspire Quality
When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
Being Yourself Tolerance World
Abortion on demand is the ultimate state tyranny; the state simply declares that certain classes of human beings are not persons, and therefore not entitled to the protection of the law. the state protects the 'right' of some people to kill others, just as the courts protected the 'property rights' of slave masters in their slaves. moreover, by this method the state achieves a goal common to all totalitarian regimes: it sets us against each other, so that our energies are spent in the struggle between state-created classes, rather than in freeing all individuals from the state.
Struggle Law Class
The state, of course, is absolutely indispensable to the preservation of law and order, and the promotion of peace and social cooperation. what is unnecessary and evil, what abridges the liberty and threatens the true welfare of the individual, is the state that has usurped excessive powers and grown beyond its legitimate function - the super-state, the socialist state, the redistributive state, in brief, the ironically misnamed 'welfare state.'

Army Order Soldier
I've had that situation where i start writing somebody really miserable, and in order to make the story come alive, i have to give them a vote of confidence, make him vulnerable or wounded. but in real life, you often meet people who, in that particular moment, actually shouldn't get a vote of confidence.
Real Writing Order
To die is to go into the collective unconscious, to lose oneself in order to be transformed into form, pure form.
Collective Unconscious Order Confusion
I don't ever remember them telling us or teaching us that the only way we could be more successful is if other people were less successful. they never inculcated the belief that somehow, in order for us to climb the ladder, other people have to come down from the ladder.
