Thomas L Dumm Quotes

Of course, each of us has to write our own book, live our own life Picture Quote #1

At some point just about all of us experience loneliness. In a sense, it is what it means to be a sentient animal, to have an experience of separation from others Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty sure my dog, Pip, gets lonely when there is no one to be with him. But we humans can end up with a gnawing worry about that separation possibly becoming a permanent condition Picture Quote #1

We can never leave loneliness behind completely - it is part of what forms us Picture Quote #1

I worry that we don’t currently have a democracy in the United States. Instead we have what [political philosopher] Sheldon Wolin has recently labeled a sort of inverted totalitarianism Picture Quote #1

It is an admonition to myself when I am reading other people’s books. Writing a book is very difficult to do, even a bad one. I try to remember that when reading someone else’s work Picture Quote #1

I look back on some of my early reviews of others, and realize to my chagrin that I’ve been as guilty as anybody else on that front Picture Quote #1

As lovers of truth, we want to be close to it. Sometimes - evil thought, evil temptation - we want to be close to it by misleading others about its presence Picture Quote #1

Worldwide, the twentieth century has seen the rise of extraordinary concentrations of economic and political power - evoking the people as the source of power while simultaneously privatizing its most meaningful exercise. Democracy always seems to be at least slightly elusive under such conditions Picture Quote #1

Usually, we think that good loneliness is what we call solitude, the choice of some alone-time. But I want to press on with the negative dimension, to look at ways in which a fundamental sense of being separated from others shapes who we are and why Picture Quote #1
