Image
We don't care really about children as a society and television reflects that indifference to children as human beings.
Bill Moyers
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Sharing is the essence of teaching. It is, I have come to believe, the essence of civilization...Without it, the imagination is but the echo of the self, trapped in a soundproof chamber, reverberating upon itself until it is spent in exhaustion or futility.
Bill Moyers
Image
There's hardly a more bitter pill to take than when a President disappoints the people who most believed in him.

For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.
Bill Moyers
Image

[Martin Luther] King subpoened the nation's conscience. He was killed for it.
Bill Moyers
Image
Barack Obama strikes me as a man of strong principles and weak convictions - the kind of guy who would rather teach constitutional law than practice it, or who'd rather watch the match alone on TV than arm-wrestle his opponents.
Bill Moyers
Image
There is no more important struggle for American democracy than ensuring a diverse, independent and free media. Free Press is at the heart of that struggle.
Bill Moyers
Image
In uniform patriotism can salute one flag only, embrace but the first circle of life - one's own land and tribe. In war that is necessary, in peace it is not enough.
Bill Moyers
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Democracy belongs to those who exercise it.
Bill Moyers
Image
Conservatism is less a set of ideas than it is a pathological distemper, a militant anger over the fact that the universe is not closed and life is not static.
Bill Moyers
Image
I like what I do and keep thinking the best is yet to come.
Bill Moyers
Image
You can't have a people's democracy as long as corporations are considered people.

Journalism's been a continuing course in adult education for me.
