More From Barney Frank

I think this is when most people give up on their stories. they come out of college wanting to change the world, wanting to get married, wanting to have kids and change the way people buy office supplies. but they get into the middle and discover it was harder than they thought. they can't see the distant shore anymore, and they wonder if their paddling is moving them forward. none of the trees behind them are getting smaller and none of the trees ahead are getting bigger. they take it out on their spouses, and they go looking for an easier story.

I was worth about over a million dollars when i was 23 and over ten million dollars when i was 24, and over a hundred million dollars when i was 25 and... it wasn't that important — because i never did it for the money.

Drugs are about dulling perception, about addiction and about behavioral repetition...what *psychedelics* are about is pattern- dissolving experiences of an extraordinarily high or different awareness. they are the exact opposite of drugs. they promote questioning , they promote consciousness, they promote value examinations, they promote the reconstruction of behavioral patterns.

I am a buyer of blank books. kids find it interesting that i would buy a blank book. they say, twenty-six dollars for a blank book! why would you pay that? the reason i pay twenty-six dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth twenty-six dollars to put in there. all my journals are private, but if you ever got hold of one of them, you wouldn't have to look very far to discover it is worth more than twenty-six dollars

Government Fifty Dollars
I don't mind the homosexuality. i understand it. nevertheless, goddamn, i don't think you glorify it on public television, homosexuality, even more than you glorify whores. we all know we have weaknesses. but, goddammit, what do you think that does to kids? you know what happened to the greeks! homosexuality destroyed them. sure, aristotle was a homo. we all know that. so was socrates.

It's been the greatest gift that i've been given. because no matter how much my parents have asked me to be more patient, no matter much my husband has asked me to be more patient, none of it mattered until i had a kid. and then all of sudden i was like, "oh. i have to be more patient." they were all like, "yeah! we've been telling you that for twenty years!" and i find it to be a gift. every day i'm more patient.

I always hated those fantasy books where, at the end, all the kids had to go home. at the end of a narnia book, you always got shown the door. same with the wizard of oz and the phantom tollbooth. you get kicked out of your magic land. it's like, "by the way, here's your next surprise: you get to go home!" and the kids are all like, "yay, we get to go home!" i never bought that. did anybody buy that?

It is important to me to instill in [kids] a sense of compassion and respect for others.
Kids Compassion Important
The most important thing i can teach my kids is that you can't put your value in looks. presence is based upon magnitude. you can pretend to have an air about you but it is quickly deflated, you cannot deflate presence. presence walks into a room and surrounds and fills anything that's in that room without trying to demand it, it takes over. it can come from a smile. like i said, love makes you beautiful. what is beautiful radiates.
