If the views I have expressed be right we can think of our civilization evolving with the growth of knowledge from small wandering tribes to large settled law.

The conscious process is reflected in the imagination the unconscious process is expressed as karma the generation of actions divorced from thinking and alienated from feeling.

I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child he would grow up to be an eggplant.

Whether it's viewers of the show or readers of my columns and books I'm consistently impressed with their wit humor and insight. That goes for about 95 percent of the audience. The other five percent are why the 'Delete' option and restraining orders were invented.

If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk I would just be depressed all the time.

Humour is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them.

I'm moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years you might be retiring. So I understand where they're coming from but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I'm just moving on right now.

Hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women are deployed across the world in the war on terror. By bringing hope to the oppressed and delivering justice to the violent they are making America more secure.

My father was always depressed. When he was home and sober he was mostly in his room.

My folks were raised pure prohibitionist. They were very good people with high moral standards - but very repressed. There was no hugging and kissing in my home.
