More From Jane Roberts

We wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,- - this debt we pay to human guile; with torn and bleeding hearts we smile and mouth with myriad subtleties. why should the world be otherwise, in counting all our tears and sighs? nay, let them only see thus, while we wear the mask. we smile, but, o great christ, our cries to thee from tortured souls arise. we sing, but oh the clay is vile beneath our feet, and long the mile; but let the world dream otherwise, we wear the mask!
Dream Lying Heart
I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. if you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. one mask is tragedy. it looks like its crying. the other mask is comedy. it looks like its laughing. nowadays, we would say, how tasteless and insensitive. a comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.
Two Laughing Tragedy
I spent a lot of time with a real detective, a lady detective inspector who was the only female detective inspector in the whole of east london. she and i hung out a lot. she showed me what she did and i spent time with her. so, [she was] a lot of the inspiration for the way i dressed and sometimes the dialogue in those interview scenes where we're cross examining and questioning the youths and trying to get a confession out of them.

What i try to do is write a story about a detective rather than a detective story. keeping the reader fooled until the last, possible moment is a good trick and i usually try to play it, but i can't attach more than secondary importance to it. the puzzle isn't so interesting to me as the behavior of the detective attacking it.

The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he's a the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. this is the press, an irresponsible press. it will make the criminal look like he's the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. if you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
Powerful Hate Media Control
If you do not want the state to act like a criminal, you must disarm it as you would a criminal; you must keep it weak. the state will always be criminal in proportion to its strength; a weak state will always be as criminal as it can be, or dare be, but if it is kept down to the proper limit of weakness - which, by the way, is a vast deal lower limit than people are led to believe - its criminality may be safely got on with.

I've noticed that even people who believe in fate look both ways before crossing the street.

When things are taking their ordinary course, it is hard to remember what matters. there are so many things you would never think to tell anyone. and i believe they may be the things that mean most to you, and that even your own child would have to know in order to know you well at all.

For as long as (the founding fathers of this nation) lived and led, they acknowledged the hand of the almighty in the affairs of this republic. our coinage and our currency carry the national motto. it simply says, 'in god we trust.' i believe this is the foundation upon which this nation was established, an unequivocal trust in the power of the almighty to guide and defend us.
