“I think I developed a culture of healthy skepticism of claims of certainty on any side of the aisle. A sort of boldness in using economics no matter where it leads you in political circles, you know, rather than worrying about being left-wing or right-wing or biased or this or that.” ThinkingKnowsMatterPoliticalCultureLeftSidesWorryHealthyEconomicsClaimsWingsCirclesCertaintySkepticismBoldnessRight WingBiasedLeft WingAisle Author:David Plotz

“No one worries about you like your mother, and when she is gone, the world seems unsafe, things that happen unwieldy. You cannot turn to her anymore, and it changes your life forever. There is no one on earth who knew you from the day you were born; who knew why you cried, or when you'd had enough food; who knew exactly what to say when you were hurting; and who encouraged you to grow a good heart. When that layer goes, whatever is left of your childhood goes with her.” WorldHeartEnoughSeemsHappensEarthMotherTurnsLeftGrowsBornHurtWorryGoneForeverChildhoodLike YouYour ChildrenLayersCriedChanging Your LifeHad EnoughGood HeartUnsafeGood Happy Mothers DayMothers Day MessagesBeing A Good Mother Book:Big Stone Gap: A Novel Source: Big Stone Gap: A Novel
“In my work, you get used to criticisms. Of course you do, because there are a lot of people trying to get you down, but I always cheer up immensely if one is particularly wounding because I think well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left. That is why my father always taught me: never worry about anyone who attacks you personally; it means their arguments carry no weight and they know it.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsTryingWellsMeanPoliticalUsedCoursesFatherLeftWorryTaughtArgumentCriticismWeightCheerCheer UpPolitical Arguments Author:Margaret Thatcher

“All of the evidence highlights the implicit bargain that is offered to citizens: pose no challenge and you have nothing to worry about. Mind your own business, and support or at least tolerate what we do, and you'll be fine. Put differently, you must refrain from provoking the authority that wields surveillance powers if you wish to be deemed free of wrongdoing. This is a deal that invites passivity, obedience, and conformity. The safest course, the way to ensure being “left alone,” is to remain quiet, unthreatening, and compliant.” IfsWayMindCoursesLeftWishChallengesDealsWorrySupportFineCitizensQuietAuthorityEvidenceObedienceConformityInvitesTolerateProvokingSurveillanceBargainsRefrainOwn BusinessLeft AloneHighlightsPassivityImplicitWrongdoingMind Your Own BusinessMind Your Own Author:Glenn Greenwald
