More From Livy

Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it ... the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.

It is a fact that the us defence budget is larger than the defence budgets of all other countries taken together. this is why i understand the us president when he says that his nato allies should take over part of this burden. it is a pragmatic and understandable approach.

At the bottom of religious persecution is the doctrine of self-defence; that is to say, the defence of the soul. if the founder of christianity had plainly said: 'it is not necessary to believe in order to be saved; it is only necessary to do, and he who really loves his fellow-men, who is kind, honest, just and charitable, is to be forever blest' - if he had only said that, there would probably have been but little persecution.

[admiral nelson's counsel] guided me time and again. on the eve of the critical battle of santa cruz, in which the japanese ships outnumbered ours more than two to one, i sent my task force commanders this dispatch: attack repeat attack. they did attack, heroically, and when the battle was done, the enemy turned away. all problems, personal, national, or combat, become smaller if you don't dodge them, but confront them. touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble. carry the battle to the enemy! lay your ship alongside his!
Courage Two Enemy
It would have been very alarming - morally, and in other ways too - if an attack of that nature, the 11 september attacks, had not aroused in us and in our governments and societies the spirit of self-defence. if that had not been one of the responses it seems to me there would have been very grave cause for concern.
Government Self Way
There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. i hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful.

I used to split my time between writing, music and painting. i would work on a book and then abandon it, start a band, do an album, quit music, then do a gallery show. eventually i decided to give writing a serious shot.

I never thought about whether film is inherently more sincere, because certainly i think if guy maddin had directed a series of unfortunate events, there probably could have been more of the stage-y irony that is in the books. but i was just interested to see what people would do with it, and worrying that brad silberling wouldn't do what i had in mind.
