Quote

I continue to be fascinated by the fact that feelings are not just the shady side of reason but that they help us to reach decisions as well.

I deal with the human psychology and evil. They are my twin issues.

I think I brush the surface of being involved politically with the issues and the personalities in the news.

The study of law left me unsatisfied, because I did not know the aspects of life which it serves. I perceived only the intricate mental juggling with fictions that did not interest me.

My moral compass swings far to the left, but when it comes to gratuitous violence, I have trouble.

I think politics come out of psychology.

Ethics, politics and psychology are all far more difficult to understand now that we know the depths to which human nature can sink.

I kept a steel wall around my moral and sexual instincts - protecting them, I thought, from the threats of the real world. This gave me a tremendous advantage in politics, if not in my soul. The true me, my spiritual core, slipped further and further from reach.

I've had to deal with all different types of situations - positive and negative and extremes of both.
