Demokratie / Democracy Eingestehen / Admit Genehmigungen / Permits Kritik / Criticism Prost / Cheers Vielfalt / Variety Weil / Because Zwei / Two
So, two cheers for Democracy: one because it admits variety and two because it permits criticism.
The permissive society has been allowed to become a dirty phrase. A better phrase is the civilised society.
In a democracy, allegations will never improve situations. So, I'm against allegations, but I always welcome criticism.
There is more criticism of puritanism, and more distance from Christian morality, than there has been before.
There is curiously little art concerning the efficacy of reason - perhaps simply because reason is not noticeably efficacious.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
I like to be in waiting rooms with people as they're auditioning, because their terror calms me.
I love creating images, of course, because I'm an artist.
Don't abuse your friends and expect them to consider it criticism.
