More quotes by 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
All stress is ultimately related to loss or the fear of loss.
David Simon
When we spend time in silence, we can hear the voice of our soul whispering its sacred message and encouraging us to make choices that bring us more happiness, health, love, meaning, and peace.
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
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
We didn't create the culture of film. We certainly market it better than anyone in the world, but film could have happened anywhere. It's not distinctly American, as witnessed by the fact that there are film communities throughout the world that tell stories to their own cultural liking.
David Simon
I've never met anyone with a perfect upbringing. It seems to me that life on planet Earth just doesn't work that way. The basic challenges of getting our needs met and managing boundaries are inherent in growing up human.
David Simon
You are worthy of love and you deserve to be happy. You have these beautiful qualities and many more because you are living the gift of a human incarnation. My hope is that you will embrace these truths and your birthright to live a life abundant in love, joy, and celebration.

Rural America's not coming back. That idea was lost with the Industrial Revolution.
David Simon
What drugs haven't destroyed, the war against them has
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
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
Boiled down to its core, the truth is always a simple, solid thing
David Simon
We have no sense of the collective anymore in America. The response to Katrina was proof positive of that.
David Simon
Healing is the process of reestablishing the integration between body, mind, and spirit, creating opportunities for the return of the memory of wholeness.
David Simon
TV writers live life of well-paid, specialty prostitutes. We have a very special skill set and we occupy one of the higher floors in the bordello that is writing. We do a very particular job for a very select clientele.
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.
David Simon
I encourage you from the depths of my heart and being to know that you have the full capacity and the right to make changes that will enliven your awareness, raise the succulent joy in your heart, and experience the vitality that comes from living in balance.
David Simon
We're now seeing levels of inequality raise their heads that we haven't seen since the age of the robber barons. If somebody watched The Deuce, and understood the allegory about capital and labor, and understands what happens when one side is vulnerable to the other, that would be swell.
David Simon
The mismanagement of American newspapering is quite remarkable. But all of the fellows responsible are now on a golf course in Hilton Head or some such (place), having secured their bonuses and golden-parachute buyouts.
