More From James Hillman

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.
Government Political Humanity
More women are working because they have to, that's what it takes to put the food on the table and pay the rent. and yet we have not changed our policies to support the family. the right wing goes to the floor, and they did when they were in power, and talk about family values. well, where are they? family values is support for child care. family values is equal pay for equal work so that women are paid appropriately.

In the beginning of the 19th century, maybe forty percent of women and fifty percent of men could produce a signature, which meant that they'd had at least three years of education because it was in third grade that people started penmanship in the 19th century. and of course black people could get killed if they got caught teaching themselves to read in some parts of the country.

Now, as mandelbrot points out, ... nature has played a joke on the mathematicians. the 19th-century mathematicians may not have been lacking in imagination, but nature was not. the same pathological structures that the mathematicians invented to break loose from 19th-century naturalism turn out to be inherent in familiar objects all around us.

If the 19th [century] was the century of the individual (liberalism means individualism), you may consider that this is the "collective" century, and therefore the century of the state.

Similar Quotes
Our obedience is god's pleasure when it proves that god is our treasure. this is good news, because it means very simply that the command to obey is the command to be happy in god. the commandments of god are only as hard to obey as the promises of god are hard to believe. the word of god is only as hard to obey as the beauty of god is hard to cherish.
Believe Mean Promise
I had to pay an incredible amount to get insured on it and, after a couple of weeks of driving it around, i realised it wasn't quite my style. i'm not flash by any means but a bright red ferrari is a definite head-turner and i hated that. it was also incredibly impractical, particularly when it came to finding space for a friend or for my tennis bag, so i decided to sell it after a few months.
Couple Mean Space
If during their education our youths become alienated from their language, history, ancestors, culture and civilization, it means there is a very serious educational problem there.
Education Mean Civilization
Don’t panic, i thought. but already my breathing was faster, shallower. “you mean you can feel happy or sad or—” “desire.” a barely-there smile.
Mean Breathing Desire
