Text Quotes
The conservative movement, to which I subscribe, has as one of its basic tenets the belief that government should stay out of people’s private lives. Government governs best when it governs least – and stays out of the impossible task of legislating morality. But legislating someone’s version of morality is exactly what we do by perpetuating discrimination against gays  (Basic Quotes) There are three basic problems: how a mind can know the world of nature, how it is possible for one mind to know another, and how it is possible to know the contents of our own minds without resort to observation or evidence. It is a mistake, I shall urge, to suppose that these questions can be collapsed into two, or taken into isolation  (Basic Quotes) The old beliefs, of course, and the rational approach, are everywhere reinforced, and so it does have a great weight. The magical approach has far greater weight, if you use it and allow yourselves to operate in that fashion, for it has the weight of your basic natural orientation  (Basic Quotes) It’s a basic rule of humor that a joke is always at somebody’s expense. Really good jokes, however, tend to be at everyone’s expense  (Basic Quotes) It is rarely a mysterious technique that drives us to the top, but rather a profound mastery of what may well be a basic skill set  (Basic Quotes) If you address yourself to an audience, you accept at the outset the basic premises that unite the audience. You put on the audience, repeating cliches familiar to it. But artists don’t address themselves to audiences; they create audiences. The artist talks to himself out loud. If what he has to say is significant, others hear and are affected  (Basic Quotes) Play is basic to all normal and healthy children. It provides pleasure and learning and a minimum of risks and penalties for mistakes  (Basic Quotes) In a basic sense, the greater the development of each individual the more able, more effective, and less needy of limiting or restricting others she or he will be  (Basic Quotes) What patients want is not rocket science, which is really unfortunate because if it were rocket science, we would be doing it. We are great at rocket science. We love rocket science. What we’re not good at are the things that are so simple and basic that we overlook them  (Basic Quotes) Cancer begins and ends with people. In the midst of scientific abstraction, it is sometimes possible to forget this one basic fact. Doctors treat diseases but they also treat people, and this precondition of their professional existence sometimes pulls them in two directions at once  (Basic Quotes) Persons living in this modern world who do not know the basic facts that determine their very existence, functioning, and surroundings, are living in a dream world. Such persons are, in a very real sense, not sane  (Basic Quotes) After giving a student the basic mating patterns and strategies you must begin giving them advanced concepts. At first these ideas will not make sense, many players will have a vague idea of what you are talking about but nothing more. Even a fragmented understanding of these concepts will prove useful though, and eventually they will improve as these lessons are assimilated by repetition and example  (Basic Quotes) The cocktail party has a simple function in modern society. Its basic purpose is to pay off social debts  (Basic Quotes) Yet the basic fact remains: we live in a world marked by violence, and if we want to protect others, we sometimes have to be willing to fight  (Basic Quotes) The essential purpose of astrology is not so much to tell us what we will meet on our road, as it is to suggest how to meet it – and the basic reason for the meeting. Which quality in us, which type of strength is needed to go through any specific phase of our total unfoldment as an individual person  (Basic Quotes) A basic principle of data processing teaches the folly of trying to maintain independent files in synchonism  (Basic Quotes) How could so many intelligent people be so grievously wrong for such an extended period of time? How could they ignore so much overwhelming evidence that contradicted their most basic theories? These questions, too, deserve their own discipline: the sociology of error  (Basic Quotes) Mankind is divided into two basic sorts: those who find the unknown future threatening... and those who find it thrilling. The rupture between those two sides has been responsible for most of the bloodshed in history  (Basic Quotes) Childhood is not merely basic training for utilitarian adulthood. It should have some claims upon our mercy, not for its future value to the economic interests of competitive societies but for its present value as a perishable piece of life itself  (Basic Quotes) Safety is a basic human need. People with a sense of security and belonging are stabilized for learning, creating, innovating. A group of wonderfully cared for, confident individuals will generate great ideas  (Basic Quotes) Such a little thing really, a kiss... most people don’t give it a moment’s consideration. They kiss on meeting, they kiss on parting, that simple touching of flesh is taken entirely for granted as a basic human right  (Basic Quotes) The basic vehicle of the dance is the human body. When and how people dance is determined by their attitudes towards their body  (Basic Quotes) My most basic credo is: I never said freedom was cheap. And it ain’t. Never will be. It’s been the highest priced and most precious commodity in my life  (Basic Quotes) I believe that a lot of our striving after the symbols and levers of success is due to a basic insecurity, a need to prove ourselves. That done, grown up at last, we are free to stop pretending  (Basic Quotes) In lawn tennis mixed, the basic chivalry move is to pretend to serve less fiercely to the woman than to the man. This is particularly useful if your first service tends to be out in any case  (Basic Quotes) There’s a basic human weakness inherent in all people which tempts them to bitterly want what they can’t have and ungratefully not want what is readily available to them  (Basic Quotes) I learned basic cookery from my mom, taught myself cake techniques and then got fed up with my own cakes not looking as good as the ones in the shops  (Basic Quotes) The future will be like the past, in the sense that, no matter how amazing or technologically advanced a society becomes, the basic human rhythm of petty malevolence, sordid moneygrubbing, and official violence, illuminated by occasional bursts of loyalty or desire or tenderness, will go on  (Basic Quotes) Poverty is not just a material problem. Poverty is something wider: it is about powerlessness, about being deprived of basic opportunities and freedom of choice  (Basic Quotes) It seems to me that whether it is recognized or not, there is a terrific frustration which increases in intensity and harmfulness as time goes on, when people are always daydreaming of the kind of place in which they would like to live, yet never making the place where they do live into anything artistically satisfying to them. Always to dream of a cottage by a brook while never doing anything to the stuffy house in the city is to waste creativity in this very basic area, and to hinder future creativity by not allowing it to grow and develop through use  (Basic Quotes)
