More From Lee Iacocca

In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute. the substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.

For love of domination we must substitute equality; for love of victory we must substitute justice; for brutality we must substitute intelligence; for competition we must substitute cooperation. we must learn to think of the human race as one family.

One describes a tale best by telling the tale. you see? the way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. it is a balancing act and it is a dream. the more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. the most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. the tale is the map that is the territory. you must remember this.

But your book is wrong, mrs. strunk, says george, when it tells you that jim is the substitute i found for a real son, a real kid brother, a real husband, a real wife. jim wasn't a substitute for anything. and there is no substitute for jim, if you'll forgive my saying so, anywhere.

These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. there were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. but it never works. you can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. money is no substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. i can tell you as i'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have.

Knowledge about yourself binds, weighs, ties you down; there is no freedom to move, and you act and move within the limits of thatknowledge. learning about yourself is never the same as accumulating knowledge about yourself. learning is active present and knowledge is the past; if you are learning to accumulate, it ceases to be learning; knowledge is static, more can be added to it or taken away from it, but learning is active, nothing can be added or taken away from it for there is no accumulation at any time.

You can't look back - you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future.
Moving On Past Behind You
How have i been able to live so long outside nature without identifying myself with it? everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. captive now upon earth, i commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.

I've written so many things over the years that i don't want to go back to being just a scriptwriter. i'm in what i consider to be the enviable position of all i have to do is come up with the idea and write an outline that makes it seem like it's a viable idea that will interest people, and then other people write the scripts -- and i become the executive producer or the producer, depending on how much involvement i have, and i get a creative credit and then move on to the next project.
