Bill Moyers Quotes

Although our interests as citizens vary, each one is an artery to the heart that pumps life through the body politic, and each is important to the health of democracy Picture Quote #1

Journalists who make mistakes get sued for libel; historians who make mistakes get to publish a revised edition Picture Quote #1

We have to face the unpleasant as well as the affirmative side of the human story, including our own story as a nation, our own stories of our peoples. We have got to have the ugly facts in order to protect us from the official view of reality. Otherwise, we are squeezed empty and filled with what other people want us to think and feel and experience Picture Quote #1

Conservatism is less a set of ideas than it is a pathological distemper, a militant anger over the fact that the universe is not closed and life is not static Picture Quote #1

An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only partisan information and opinion that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda is less inclined to put up a fight, ask questions and be skeptical. And just as a democracy can die of too many lies, that kind of orthodoxy can kill us, too Picture Quote #1

You can’t have a people’s democracy as long as corporations are considered people Picture Quote #1

I hear an almost inaudible but pervasive discontent with the price we pay for our current materialism. And I hear a fluttering of hope that there might be more to life than bread and circuses Picture Quote #1

Democracy may not prove in the long run to be as efficient as other forms of government, but it has one saving grace: it allows us to know and say that it isn’t Picture Quote #1

I work for him despite his faults and he lets me work for him despite my deficiencies Picture Quote #1

Ideas are great arrows, but there has to be a bow. And politics is the bow of idealism Picture Quote #1
