More From Winifred Holtby

Taste governs every free - as opposed to rote - human response. nothing is more decisive. there is taste in people, visual taste, taste in emotion - and there is taste in acts, taste in morality. intelligence, as well, is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.
Ideas People Taste
I read reviews of critics i respect and feel i can learn something from. right now there are a lot of bottom-feeder critics who just have access to a computer and don't necessarily have an academic or cinema background that i can detect, so i tend to ignore that and stay with the same top-tier critics that i've come to respect. i like reading a good review - it doesn't have to be favorable, but a well-thought-out one - because i very much appreciate the relationship of directors and critics.
Reading Appreciate Computer
Every year i tell myself that i’m not going to read any reviews and then i do. we’re all human and when i read something negative it hurts. i think when you write it’s part of the game, you’re going to get some good reviews and some bad reviews and that’s how it goes. i don’t write for the reviews.
Hurt Writing Thinking
Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.
War Fighting World
The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. the man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. here camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. it makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. it is good for the digestion.
Witty Exercise Men
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

Israel is the number one rogue state threat to middle eastern peace with its nuclear arms and acts of outright aggression towards its peaceful neighbours syria and lebanon - and genocidal actions against the marginalised palestinians of the west bank - and gaza in particular.

By its existence, the peace movement denies that governments know best; it stands for a different order of priorities: the human race comes first.
Peace Government Order
May the devil take these peoples movements, especially when they are 'peaceful'.
