The loner may be respected, but he is always resented by his colleagues, for he seems to be passing a critical judgment on them, when he may be simply making a limiting statement about himself.

More From Sydney J. Harris

I, with other americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of american life... more particularly have i resented the sneers at main street. for i have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.

I am far more of a loner than people would imagine. but i am the most gregarious and socially interactive loner you ever met. the thing is, i am fascinated by people's stories and i'm very talkative and can't ever say no to anything or anyone, so i tend to over-socialize, to give away too much of my time to the many people i adore.

The philosopher ... subjects experience to his critical judgment, and this contains a value judgment namely, that freedom from toil is preferable to toil, and an intelligent life is preferable to a stupid life. it so happened that philosophy was born with these values. scientific thought had to break this union of value judgment and analysis, for it became increasingly clear that the philosophic values did not guide the organisation of society.

Human judgment of human actions is true and void , that is to say, first true and then void.... the judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void.... only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it.

I want to be someone who is respected and not just in terms of my music. i want to be respected in terms of the way that i treat people... music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me; what has importance, what has a value. and i wanna be respected for that.

The more real things get, the more like myths they become. there have always been myths, but the myths of earlier times were, im convinced, bad ones, because they made people sick. so certainly, if we can tell evil stories to make people sick, we can also tell good myths that make them well.

It's more interesting when people overcome inner turbulence, but at the same time i do like the innocent. have you ever read the idiot? i think dostoyevsky created a brilliant character there. he doesn't have any self-inflicted wounds. i love that. people don't like him because he's so pure.
