Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while truth again reverts to a new minority.

Truth Always Rests With The Minority, And

Soren Kierkegaard
Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while truth again reverts to a new minority.

More From Soren Kierkegaard

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.

I'm questioning it. we're trying to get a lot of money for health and education and i'm wondering... you look at these gangs, and i look back at prohibition. when we didn't allow alcohol, what did we have? we had gangs. we had big gangs. it's something that needs to be discussed a little more. it's an economic issue and a violence issue.

Real danger is nothing more than just living. of course, living is merely the chaos of existence, but more than that it's a crazy mixed-up business of dismantling existence instant by instant to the point where the original chaos is restored, and taking strength from the uncertainty and the fear that chaos brings to re-create existence instant by instant. you won't find another job as dangerous as that. there isn't any fear in existence itself, or any uncertainty, but living creates it.

The conception that government should be guided by majority opinion makes sense only if that opinion is independent of government. the ideal of democracy rests on the belief that the view which will direct government emerges from an independent and spontaneous process. it requires, therefore, the existence of a large sphere independent of majority control in which the opinions of the individuals are formed.

One thing i hate about the new deal is that it is killing what, to me, is the american pioneering spirit. i simply do not know what to tell my own boys, leaving school and confronting this new world whose ideal is security and whose practice is dependence upon government instead of upon one's self. all the old character-values seem simply insane from a practical point of view; the self-reliant, the independent, the courageous man is penalized from every direction.

There is no more important struggle for american democracy than ensuring a diverse, independent and free media. free press is at the heart of that struggle.

Honestly, i guess if you looked at my cv, i've been doing independent movies since i started. i think that i kind of took a few steps back from hollywood as soon as it all started to come my way because i wasn't quite ready for the attention.
