In part I'm just mystified. Here's a woman, Hillary [Clinton], who wrote a book about it takes a village to raise children. It wasn't about a book about it takes a pill. There's a double think that the modern person often has. Anything that's called science is accepted as an absolute and sweeps reason away.

Childhood in large parts of modern Britain, at any rate, has been replaced by premature adulthood, or rather adolescence
Anthony Daniels

You have to attack the source of your enemy’s strength. In America’s case, that’s not Osama or Saddam or anyone else. The enemy is ignorance.

I have confronted theoretical positions whose protagonists claim that what I take to be historically produced characteristics of what is specifically modern are in fact the timelessly necessary characteristics of all and any moral judgment, of all and any selfhood.

I always believe the rule by king or official leader is outdated. Now we must catch up with the modern world.
Dalai Lama

It is one of the primary motives of modern art that it wants to abolish the distance which the viewer, the consumer, the audience maintain vis-a-vis a work of art. There is no doubt that the leaders of the creative artists of the last 50 years concentrated their efforts mainly on eliminating that distance.
