Polly Toynbee Quotes

Nothing keeps people together like the exalted conviction that they alone are to be spared that eternal anguish of hell fire to which everyone else will be condemned Picture Quote #1
So what really works? Treatments in jail do some good, but it’s mostly too late: finding a family and a job or just growing older make most prisoners eventually give up crime Picture Quote #1
But how odd that in this heathen nation of empty pews, where churches’ bare, ruined choirs are converted into luxury loft living, a Labour government - yes, a Labour government - is deliberately creating a huge expansion of faith schools Picture Quote #1
Islam, Christianity and Judaism all define themselves through disgust of women’s bodies Picture Quote #1
It is now possible to quantify people’s levels of happiness pretty accurately by asking them, by observation, and by measuring electrical activity in the brain, in degrees from terrible pain to sublime joy Picture Quote #1
Feminism is the most revolutionary idea there has ever been. Equality for women demands a change in the human psyche, more profound than anything Marx dreamed of. It means valuing parenthood as much as we value banking Picture Quote #1

In the polls, over 80% support the right to die and have done for the last 25 years. Even 80% of practising Catholics and Protestants support it, plus 76% of Church Times readers Picture Quote #1
Is anyone serious about the politics of happiness? David Cameron dipped a toe in the water, using the word lightly, but denying the hard policies it implies. Labour shies away from it, but should take up the challenge Picture Quote #1
Could a government dare to set out with happiness as its goal? Now that there are accepted scientific proofs, it would be easy to audit the progress of national happiness annually, just as we monitor money and GDP Picture Quote #1
But the single overwhelming reason why jails are bursting is longer sentences given for more crimes Picture Quote #1
The best care on earth cannot prevent us all dying in the end Picture Quote #1
Working lives are for the state to influence. Unemployment makes people unhappy. So does instability Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
Thresholds of pain, indignity and incapacity are entirely personal Picture Quote #1
Openness about death has led to greater care about all aspects of dying Picture Quote #1
Most people come to fear not death itself, but the many terrible ways of dying Picture Quote #1
But instead of standing up for reason, our government is handing education over to the world of faith Picture Quote #1
So what really works? Treatments in jail do some good, but it’s mostly too late: finding a family and a job or just growing older make most prisoners eventually give up crime Picture Quote #1
One in six people suffer depression or a chronic anxiety disorder. These are not the worried well but those in severe mental pain with conditions crippling enough to prevent them living normal lives Picture Quote #1

My mother begged doctors to end her life. She was beyond the physical ability to swallow enough of the weak morphine pills she had around her. When she knew she was dying I promised to make sure she could go at a time of her choosing, but it was impossible. I couldn’t help Picture Quote #1
How do you make any sense of history, art or literature without knowing the stories and iconography of your own culture and all the world’s main religions? Picture Quote #1
There is all the difference in the world between teaching children about religion and handing them over to be taught by the religious Picture Quote #1
People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death Picture Quote #1
It is now possible to quantify people’s levels of happiness pretty accurately by asking them, by observation, and by measuring electrical activity in the brain, in degrees from terrible pain to sublime joy Picture Quote #1
Inequality makes everyone unhappy, the poor most of all, and that is well within the remit of the state. More money gives less extra happiness the richer we get, yet we are addicted to earning and spending more every year Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
Happiness is a real, objective phenomenon, scientifically verifiable. That means people and whole societies can now be measured over time and compared accurately with one another. Causes and cures for unhappiness can be quantified Picture Quote #1
