More From Ralph Merkle

It is taken for granted that workers should receive their pay partly in kind, in the form of medical care provided by the employer. how come? why single out medical care? surely food is no less essential to life than medical care. why is it not at least as logical for workers to be required to buy their food at the company store as to be required to buy their medical care at the company store?
Taken Care Pay
So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.
Happiness Jobs Growing Up
If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.
Dream Pain Real
Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying... healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die.
Get Well Healing Home
Everyone feels awkward, everyone feels uncomfortable, everyone gets older, everyone gets lonely, everyone gets sick, everyone eventually dies. you’re at the aspen ideas fest, and you have these really smart, really accomplished people who pretend like they’ve somehow figured out a way to bypass the human condition. we live in this culture where there are so many things that want us to pretend that we’re not truly human.

Similar Quotes
Although i have felt compelled to write things down since i was five years old, i doubt that my daughter ever will, for she is a singularly blessed and accepting child, delighted with life exactly as life presents itself to her, unafraid to go to sleep and unafraid to wake up. keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss.
Notebook Daughter Lonely
The only thing that makes one an artist is making art. and that requires the precise opposite of hanging out; a deeply lonely and unglamorous task of tolerating oneself long enough to push something out.
Lonely Art Opposites
It's a lonely world, being independent, and they can come away with the idea that if lloyd kaufman can make movies with people getting their heads squashed, with hard-bodied lesbians, women masturbating with pickles, graphic diarrhea, and singing and dancing chicken zombies - if he can do that for 40 years and put his kids through yale, columbia, and duke - if that idiot can do it, anybody can do it.
Lonely Kids Independent
True majorities, in a tv-dominated and anti-intellectual age, may need sound bites and flashing lights and i am not against supplying such lures if they draw children into even a transient concern with science. but every classroom has one [oliver] sacks , one [eric] korn, or one [jonathan] miller , usually a lonely child with a passionate curiosity about nature, and a zeal that overcomes pressures for conformity. do not the one in fifty deserve their institutions as well magic places, like cabinet museums, that can spark the rare flames of genius?
