I keep thinking that history runs in cycles, and that some day certain large issues will come before the country again. there will be leaders that inspire young people. i don't think it means that it's over forever, but i'm getting pretty impatient. i'm hoping it comes soon, so that my young people can know that experience that we knew in the '60s, and that the world war ii generation knew during the '40s.

I Keep Thinking That History Runs In

More From Doris Kearns Goodwin

There were no horror movies or horror books to speak of in the '40s. i picked the '50s because that pretty well spans my life as an appreciator - as somebody who's been involved with this mass cult of horror, from radio and movies and saturday matinees and books. in the '40s there really wasn't that much. people don't want to read about horrible things in horrible times. so, in the '40s, there was val lutin with the cat people and the curse of the cat people and there wasn't much else.

I don't know what you wanna describe as rock 'n' roll, but i certainly thought that 60s stuff, bob dylan and the beatles, changed the world a little bit. but the effect seems to have retreated. i think it's harder than we think to change the world. these things go in cycles. it doesn't seem to have done an awful lot of good, does it? you know, all the talk of racial harmony and equality in the world... we haven't got a long way since the 60s.

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

I lived in france during the '60s. i was there from the early '60s until 1970, so my view of the '60s is more global. it was a time of tremendous transition, not only for america but for the whole world.
Views America Transition
Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

One thing about this face was very strange and startling. you could not look upon it in its most cheerful mood without feeling that it had some extraordinary capacity of expressing terror. it was not on the surface. it was in no one feature that it lingered. you could not take the eyes or mouth, or lines upon the cheek, and say, if this or that were otherwise, it would not be so. yet there it always lurked-something for ever dimly seen, but ever there, and never absent for a moment.

If death is in the room, it's pretty interesting. but i would also say that i'm interested in getting myself to believe that it's going to happen to me. i'm interested in it, because if you're not, you're nuts. it's really de facto what we're here to find out about.
Believe Nuts Interesting
The next generation of interesting software will be done on the macintosh, not the ibm pc.

I would never be innovative enough to "blaze my own trail," i'm just trying to be interesting. so i don't look to anyone else as far as inspiration.
