More quotes by Bill Moyers
We see more and more of our Presidents and know less and less about what they do.
Bill Moyers
Capitalism is out of control, thanks in no small part to Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision which said that a corporation is a person, even though it doesn't eat, drink, make love, sing, raise children or take care of aging parents. You can't have a people's democracy as long as corporations are considered people.
Bill Moyers
I'm angry at what's happening to America and angry with myself that I can't do more. I would be miserable if I couldn't bear witness.
Bill Moyers
[Martin Luther] King subpoened the nation's conscience. He was killed for it.
Bill Moyers

You can't have a people's democracy as long as corporations are considered people.
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

Bill Moyers
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
Journalists who make mistakes get sued for libel historians who make mistakes get to publish a revised edition.
Bill Moyers
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
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
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
Our children are being raised by appliances.
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
The delusional is no longer marginal.
Bill Moyers
War, except in self-defense, is a failure of moral imagination.
Bill Moyers
Television can stir emotions, but it doesn't invite reflection as much as the printed page.
