I think most people are more susceptible to prejudice than to reason. and the parrots of talk radio are just sending out the same stuff. when i look at my e-mails, i see the same limbaugh rhetoric; apparently, people don't have any ideas of their own. and there's just this drumroll of anti-progressive thought.

But take the russia issue. you open up the convention, and you have got a report that the democratic party has been hacked by the russians, e-mails, the e-mails of the democratic party, which is a headline and words that you don't want, if you're hillary clinton's campaign.and donald trump immediately takes the story and basically steps on the advantage he has and say, well, the russians, who am i to tell [vladimir] putin? you know, the russians ought to come in and continue to hack our - and find out where the e-mails are.

I am not anti-english, i am not anti-british, i am not anti-any government, but i am anti-untruth, anti-humbug and anti-injustice.

Our life runs down in sending up the clock. the brook runs down in sending up our life. the sun runs down in sending up the brook. and there is something sending up the sun. it is this backward motion toward the source, against the stream, that most we see ourselves in, the tribute of the current to the source. it is from this in nature we are from. it is most us.

There was no reason to label us as anti-semitic. no reason at all. i do not know one person in the national front who committed even the most minor hostile act against a jewish person or jewish property. as for me, even though i have been accused of anti-semitism countless times, no one has ever heard me make anti-semitic statements or engage in anti-semitic behavior. there just are people, organizations, that need an adversary and they want the public to believe that this adversary is dangerous.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.

The most widely discussed formulation of [the one world model] was the "end of history" thesis advanced by francis fukuyama. "we may be witnessing," fukuyama argued, "the end of history as such: that is, the end point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of western liberal democracy as the final form of human government." the future will be devoted not to great exhilarating struggles over ideas but rather to resolving mundane economic and technical problems. and, he concluded rather sadly, it will all be rather boring.

And while faith based on theological reasoning is today universally engaged in a bitter struggle with doubt and resistance from the prevailing brand of rationalism, it does seem that the naked fundamental experience itself, that primal seizure of mystic insight, stripped of religious concepts, perhaps no longer to be regarded as a religious experience at all, has undergone an immense expansion and now forms the soul of that complex irrationalism that haunts our era like a night bird lost in the dawn.

If one has such an encounter it is to be expected it will bring him into conflict, especially conflict with himself, because one sometimes literally does not know what to do or what not to do. but is this struggle and even the mistakes one may make, not better, and do they not develop us more than if we keep systematically away from emotions?
