More quotes by Bill Moyers
Democracy only works when we claim it as our own.
Bill Moyers
Journalists who make mistakes get sued for libel historians who make mistakes get to publish a revised edition.
Bill Moyers
Empty your knapsack of all adjectives, adverbs and clauses that slo your stride and weaken your pace. Travel light. Remember the most memorable sentences in the English language are also the shortest: The King is dead and Jesus wept.
Bill Moyers
Democracy belongs to those who exercise it.
Bill Moyers
A journalist is basically a chronicler, not an interpreter of events. Where else in society do you have the license to eavesdrop on so many different conversations as you have in journalism? Where else can you delve into the life of our times?
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
When ideology and theology couple, their offspring are not always bad but they are always blind.
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
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
What's right and good doesn't come naturally. You have to stand up and fight for it - as if the cause depends on you, because it does.
Bill Moyers
News is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is publicity.
Bill Moyers
I really believe that coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
Bill Moyers
Journalism's been a continuing course in adult education for me.
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.
Bill Moyers
The thing about war is that once it's triggered, it is unyielding in its appetite. And the more it consumes and gorges, the more it wants.
Bill Moyers
Fox News and Rush Limbaugh have raised ignorance to ideology and stupefied an entire political party. No more roguish and rowdy band of predators ever did more to demean and despoil the democracy on whose carcass they feed.
Bill Moyers
In marriage, everyday you love,and everyday you forgive.It is an ongoing sacrament, love and forgiveness
Bill Moyers
We don't care really about children as a society and television reflects that indifference to children as human beings.
Bill Moyers
The massive upward distribution of wealth engineered by our political class over the last few decades has solidified the plutocratic control of the rule-making machinery in Washington and state capitals.
Bill Moyers
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.
