More From Terry Goodkind

What does labor want? we want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright.

I've got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what i need. less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience and less response. the less the merrier. chairs it is. i must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.

Here's the pay paradox that why men earn more explains: men earn more money, therefore men have more power; and men earn more money, therefore men have less power (earning more money as an obligation, not an option). the opposite is true for women: women earn less money, therefore women have less power; and women earn less money, therefore women have more power (the option to raise children, or to not take a hazardous job).

Where people work longest and with least leisure, they buy the fewest goods. no towns were so poor as those of england where the people, from children up, worked fifteen and sixteen hours a day. they were poor because these overworked people soon wore out -- they became less and less valuable as workers. therefore, they earned less and less and could buy less and less.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.
Mean Thinking Intelligent
The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. the less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.

Books ... were merely nodes in a near-infinite matrix of information that exists in four dimensions, evolving toward the idea of the concept of the approximation of the shadow of truth vertically through time as well as longitudinally through knowledge.

A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. what can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants: demagogues can persecute writers and tell them what to write as much as they like, but they cannot vanish what has been written in the past, though they try often enough...people who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. if you read, you can learn to think for yourself.
