More From Herbert Marcuse

I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.

Because of its concrete content, sense-certainty immediately appears as the richest kind of knowledge, indeed a knowledge of infinite wealth for which no bounds can be found, either when we reach out into space and time in which it is dispersed, or when we take a bit of this wealth, and by division enter into it. moreover, sense-certainty appears to be the truest knowledge ... but, in the event, this very certainty proves itself to be the most abstract and poorest truth. all that it says about what it knows is just that it is; and its truth contains nothing but the sheer being of the thing.

Gradually, ... the aspect of science as knowledge is being thrust into the background by the aspect of science as the power of manipulating nature. it is because science gives us the power of manipulating nature that it has more social importance than art. science as the pursuit of truth is the equal, but not the superior, of art. science as a technique, though it may have little intrinsic value, has a practical importance to which art cannot aspire.

Creativity builds upon the public domain. the battle that we're fighting now is about whether the public domain will continue to be fed by creative works after their copyright expires. that has been our tradition but that tradition has been perverted in the last generation. we're trying to use the constitution to reestablish what has always been taken for granted--that the public domain would grow each year with new creative work.

Religious distress is at the same time the expression of the real distress and also the protest against real distress. religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of the spiritless condition. it is the opium of the people.

I will continue to fight for legislation that forces congress to read the bills! i will fight for a vote on my bill that calls for a waiting period for each page of legislation. i will continue to object when congress sticks special interest riders on bills in the dead of night! and if congress refuses to obey its own rules, if congress refuses to pass a budget, if congress refuses to read the bills, then i say: sweep the place clean. limit their terms and send them home!

There is no prosperity, trade, art, city, or great material wealth of any kind, but if you trace it home, you will find it rooted in a thought of some individual man.

Prosperity knits a man to the world. he feels that he is finding his place in it while really it is finding its place in him. his increasing reputation, his widening circle of acquaintances, his sense of importance, the growing pressure of absorbing and agreeable work build up in him a sense of being really at home on earth which is just what we want.
