“No, I most certainly do not think advertising people are wonderful. I think they are horrible, and the worst menace to mankind, next to war; perhaps ahead of war. They stand for the material viewpoint, for the importance of possessions, of desire, of envy, of greed.

“Any kind of writing that's meaningful becomes hard work, so there were times when it would really flow, there were times when I'd get 10 pages a day, and then there were days when I would do three pages.

“The Hawk and the Dove is a wonderful idea for a book, wonderfully carried out. Nicholas Thompson has used illuminating new material to present each of his protagonists in a convincing, respectful, but unsparing way. Even more valuable, he has used the interactions and tensions between Paul Nitze and George Kennan to bring much of American 20th century foreign policy to life, with human richness ever present but with the big issues clear in all their complexity.” WayHumansBookIdeasBigsUsedIssuesClearWonderfulCenturyPolicyMaterialsValuableTensionComplexityForeign PolicyInteraction20th CenturyConvincingRichnessRespectfulDoveHawksProtagonistsIlluminating Author:James Fallows
“[My work] is using light as a material to influence or affect the medium of perception.

“You have to get inside the people you are writing about. You have to go below the surface. And that's to a very large degree what all writers are doing - they're trying to get below the surface.

And you have to sort of go where the material is.” PeopleWritingTryingFictionWonderfulMaterialsDegreesLettersSurfaceBiographiesDiariesBelow The SurfaceWriting History Author:David McCullough
“The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life. For me this began with a discovery of the meaninglessness of possessions beyond my actual and immediate needs. As soon as I had brought myself down to need level, I began to feel a wonderful harmony in my life between inner and outer well-being, between spiritual and material well-being.” NeedsFeelsWellsSpiritualLife IsLevelsStepsWonderfulMaterialsDiscoveryHarmonyPossessionInner PeaceWell BeingPersistentSimplificationMeaninglessness Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words

“Though it's marvelously entertaining, and I had fantastic fun writing the book, it's not terribly easily, the material, and it's not all that familiar...although we think it is familiar.
