The greek idea of fate is moira, which means "portion." fate rules a portion of your life. but there is more to life than just fate. there is also genetics, environment, economics, and so on. so it's not all written in the book before you get here, such that you don't have to do anything. that's fatalism.

More From James Hillman

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

My mother and my father taught me to look at the actual problem, not the face of it, not the veneer of it. so for me, i was never - i was impressed that it - racially, i was impressed, right, but now in america it's about economics, and it's been about economics, and honestly, everything's been about economics since i don't want to say the beginning of time, but it's been about economics for a long while.

I suppose there is no place in the world where snobbery is quite so ever-present or where it is cultivated in such refined and subtle forms as in an english public school. here at least one cannot say that english ‘education’ fails to do its job. you forget your latin and greek within a few months of leaving school — i studied greek for eight or ten years, and now, at thirty-three, i cannot even repeat the greek alphabet — but your snobbishness, unless you persistently root it out like the bindweed it is, sticks by you till your grave.

I started in the law; and the study of law, when it precedes the study of economics, gives you a set of foundation principles about how human beings interact. economics is very useful, and i studied economics in graduate school. but without understanding the social and organizational context of economics, it becomes a theory without any groundwork.

Yes, there's genetics. yes, there are chromosomes. yes, there's biology. yes, there are environment, sociology, parenting, economics, class, and all of that. but there is something else, as well.

I am opposed to all forms of control; i am for an absolute laissez faire, free, unregulated economy. i am for the separation of the state and economics, just as we had separation of state and church, which led to peaceful coexistence among different religions...so the same applies to economics. if you separate the government from economics, if you do not regulate production and trade, you will have peaceful cooperation, and harmony and justice among men.

I think opinions should be judged by their influences and effects; and if a man holds none that tend to make him less virtuous or more vicious, it may be concluded that he holds none that are dangerous, which i hope is the case with me.

Socialism, leftism, liberalism not only doesn't respect the unique abilities of free people; it attempts to quash them and to eliminate them. because it's unfair not only to have more than somebody else, it's unfair to be better than anybody else at whatever you do. that's not fair. so we define everything down to the lowest common denominator. we take the people at the top, bring 'em down to people at the bottom and say that's equality. we punish achievement if liberalism and leftism rules the day. but capitalism is where the respect for unique abilities and freedom resides.
