More From E. L. Doctorow

We’re face to face with images all the time in a way that we never have been before... young people need to understand that not all images are there to be consumed like fast food and then forgotten – we need to educate them to understand the difference between moving images that engage their humanity and their intelligence, and moving images that are just selling them something.
Moving Differences People
She wondered: how could people respond to these images if images didn't secretly enjoy the same status as real things? not that images were so powerful, but that the world was so weak. it could be read, certainly, in its weakness, as on days when the sun baked fallen apples in orchards and the valley smelled like cider, and cold nights when jordan had driven chadds ford for dinner and the tires of her chevrolet had crunched on the gravel driveway; but the world was fungible only as images. nothing got inside the head without becoming pictures.
Powerful Real Night
To suffer is one thing; another thing is living with the photographed images of suffering, which does not necessarily strengthen conscience and the ability to be compassionate. it can also corrupt them. once one has seen such images, one has started down the road of seeing more - and more. images transfix. images anesthetize.
Suffering Doe Compassionate
Although images of perfection in people's personal lives can cause unhappiness, images of perfect societies - utopian images - can cause monstrous evil. in fact, forcefully changing society to conform to societal images was the greatest cause of evil in the twentieth century.
People Evil Perfect
There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
Struggle Book Thinking
There are only two emotions: love and fear. all positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. from love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. from fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. it's true that there are only two primary emotions, love and fear. but it's more accurate to say that there is only love or fear, for we cannot feel these two emotions together, at exactly the same time. they're opposites. if we're in fear, we are not in a place of love. when we're in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
