More quotes by David Simon
There came this point where I sat down with all my notebooks and I had to start to write, when I thought: this whole notion of writing for the person who understands nothing, the average reader ... He has to die! I can't have him in my head. And so the person I started writing for was the homicide detective.

On a practical level I'm a TV producer and storyteller who's gone about as long as you can go without achieving a mass audience.
David Simon
For a detective or street police, the only real satisfaction is the work itself when a cop spends more and more time getting aggravated with the details, he's finished. The attitude of co-workers, the indifference of superiors, the poor quality of the equipment - all of it pales if you still love the job all of it matters if you don't.
David Simon
Meditation is like a bath for the mind it clears and refreshes our windows of perception, allowing more light, love, and happiness to flow into lives.
David Simon
All stress is ultimately related to loss or the fear of loss.
David Simon
I'm just a swell guy. No, that's a ridiculous notion - if you're being an asshole to people, you're being an asshole, that's all there is to it. It can't be rationalized because you wrote something worthwhile. First obligation is to other people.
David Simon
Acceptance means focusing on the present while assessing the choices available to you in this moment. If there are many possibilities, make the choice that is likely to bring the most evolutionary results. If there is only one choice, take it. If there are no obvious choices, relax and accept the fact that for now, you cannot do anything.
David Simon
Baltimore's often called the most northern Southern town. It has a distinct essence. It's definitely post-industrial, definitely Rust Belt, very working-class. I grew up outside of Washington, and I felt I was moving to a completely different place when I moved 30 miles north out of college.
David Simon
We are innately creative beings capable of writing a love story worth living, and we cannot afford to miss out on the opportunity to experience nourishing relationships.
David Simon
People from here will often say, I'm not from the United States, I'm from New Orleans.
David Simon
From a spiritual perspective, freedom from attachment to a particular outcome is the ultimate expression of liberation. We can choose the actions we take, but we cannot control the consequences of our choices.
David Simon
It is your birthright to live a life abundant in love. Make the commitment today to open your heart and let your love flow.
David Simon
While I think storytelling is a meaningful way to spend your life... it does feel a little bit secondary or off-point.
David Simon
Unless you loosen the hold that your past has on you, your future will unfold in much the same way . . . it is time to begin writing a new script that accurately reflects the beautiful, powerful, and worthy being you are.
David Simon
With more than 80 percent of Americans living in metropolitan areas, there are still demagogues who want to run down the idea of multiculturalism, of urbanity, being the only future we have. We either live or die based on how we live in cities, and our society is either going to be great or not based on how we perform as creatures of the city.
David Simon
The greatest contribution we can make to the wellbeing of those in our lives is to have peace in our own hearts.
David Simon
The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke.
David Simon
If I had to guess and put a name on it, I'd say that at some point, the drug war was as much a function of class and social control as it was of racism.
David Simon
You have the capacity to change the plotline of your life, even if you've been acting from the same script since before you can remember.
David Simon
Eventually, someone is going to pick up a brick.
