More quotes by Bill Moyers

Bill Moyers
Our economy is a plantation run for the aristocrats - the CEOs, hedge funds, private equity firms - while the field hands are left with the scraps.
Bill Moyers
In America, one of our two major parties is dominated by extremists dedicated to destroying the social contract, and the other party has been so enfeebled by two decades of collaboration with the donor class it can offer only feeble resistance to the forces that are devastating everyday people.
Bill Moyers
Why is the country not having this conversation, the kind of conversation that requires the politicians who are responsible for the war to be specific to the concerns of the American people.
Bill Moyers
Democracy only works when we claim it as our own.
Bill Moyers
In fact, so much of life, as you know, is serendipitous. That's why you better be prepared at any time for anything, because it may happen to you.
Bill Moyers
Our very lives depend on the ethics of strangers, and most of us are always strangers to other people.
Bill Moyers

Bill Moyers
The things I really cared about - poverty, the Great Society, civil rights - were all being drained away by the Vietnam War. The line that keeps running through my mind is the line I never spoke: I can't speak for a war that I believe is immoral.
Bill Moyers

Bill Moyers
For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.
Bill Moyers
News is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is publicity.
Bill Moyers
We seem to prefer a comfortable lie to the uncomfortable truth. We punish those who point out reality, and reward those who provide us with the comfort of illusion. Reality is fearsome .. but experience tells us that more fearsome yet is evading it.
Bill Moyers
When the public loses faith in democracy's ability to solve the problems it has created for itself, the game's almost over. And I think we are this close to losing democracy to the mercenary class.
Bill Moyers
I own and operate a ferocious ego.
Bill Moyers
In one way or another, this is the oldest story in America: the struggle to determine whether “we, the people” is a moral compact embedded in a political contract or merely a charade masquerading as piety and manipulated by the powerful and privileged to sustain their own way of life at the expense of others.
Bill Moyers
Journalists who make mistakes get sued for libel historians who make mistakes get to publish a revised edition.
Bill Moyers
We see more and more of our Presidents and know less and less about what they do.
Bill Moyers
A producer is a saboteur who tries to infiltrate the passivity of viewers and to create impressions that are lasting.
Bill Moyers
Democracy doesn't begin at the top it begins at the bottom, when flesh-and-blood human beings fight to rekindle what Arlo Guthrie calls 'The Patriot's Dream.
