“New York is the city of privilege. Here is the seat of the Invisible Power represented by the allied forces of finance and industry. This Invisible Government is reactionary, sinister, unscrupulous, mercenary, and sordid. It is wanting in national ideals and devoid of conscience... This kind of government must be scourged and destroyed.” KindGovernmentForceCitiesNew YorkIndustryConscienceIdealsPrivilegeJewInvisibleFinanceDestroyedSeatsSinisterReactionariesMercenary Author:William Jennings Bryan
“The genuflection toward 'fairness' is a familiar newsroom piety, in practice the excuse for a good deal of autopilot reporting and lazy thinking but in theory a benign ideal. In Washington, however, a community in which the management of news has become the single overriding preoccupation of the core industry, what 'fairness' has often come to mean is a scrupulous passivity, an agreement to cover the story not as it is occurring but as it is presented, which is to say as it is manufactured.” ThinkingMeanStoriesCommunityDealsPracticeTheoryIndustryNewsIdealsManagementExcuseCoreFamiliarLazyAgreementFairnessPietyPreoccupationBenignPassivityAutopilotLazy Thinking Author:Joan Didion
“The climate of Ohio is perfect, considered as the home of an ideal republican people. Climate has much to do with national character....

“The film industry is a great industry, with infinite possibilities for good and bad. Its primary purpose is to entertain people. On the side, it can do many other things. It can popularize certain ideals, it can make education palatable. But in the long run, the judge who decides whether what it does is good or bad is the man or woman who attends the movies.” PeopleMenLongDoeRunningFilmPurposeCertainSidesCan DoPossibilityHe ManJudgingIndustryIdealsInfinitePrimariesLong RunsGood And BadFilm IndustryInfinite Possibilities Author:Eleanor Roosevelt
“We're dabbling in eugenics all the time, breeding ideal crops to replace less aesthetic or nutritious or hardy varieties; leveling forests to graze cattle or erect shopping malls and condos; planting groves of a few familiar trees that homeowners and industries prefer.” TreeIndustryIdealsForestsFamiliarVarietyShoppingAestheticCropsBreedingEugenicsMallsCattleHardyGroveHomeownersWoods And ForestsDabbling Author:Diane Ackerman
“The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy Victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.” NeedsHumansSoulHouseClassCrimeIndustryClothesIdealsWorkersCommittedUglyBreadFurnitureSurroundingsUglinessEmployersHuman SoulMeannessVictorianCondemningPromoters Book:Phoenix: the Posthumous Papers of D.

“So many people are working in industries that don't inspire them, to pay the bills and survive. In an ideal world, everyone would get paid to work within their passion and expand in their talents.

“This present system by which industry is motivated exclusively by the quest for maximal profits - though it may have helped a great deal to develop, to industrialize our country so rapidly and so successfully - now it's clearly passed its usefulness. It is keeping us from achieving the ideal society that we should have. We say industry must produce to improve the quality of life for all our people.” PeopleShouldMayCountryDealsQualityAchieveProduceIndustryIdealsShould HaveProfitOur CountryMotivatedQuestsQuality Of LifeUsefulnessIdeal Society Author:Benjamin Spock
