Whatever your most cherished political goal is, you ain't getting it in this election. You ain't getting it in the next election. Who knows how many elections it may take but the only way to get your political goal is through long, grinding, boring and unglamorous persistence.

You Won’t Win the Revolution

The descent of stable societies into ones of endemic violence rarely produces anything but new forms of tyranny and terror.

"These people proclaim their love for everything 'national,' but what they mean are firearms. They say they're serving the 'national cause,' but in actuality they're preparing for murder." --Joseph Roth (1922)

Fritz Ringer: "Almost all the critical realists gave credit to Edmund Husserl and his phenomenology for helping them in the construction of their new epistemology. Unfortunately, I do not really understand Husserl's work." That's OK, I'm not sure Husserl did either.

Frederick Beiser on Heinrich Rickert's response to William James's criticism: "Rickert concluded his polemical romp with the nasty barb that he did not want to be useful to the pragmatists, and that if he believed in their existence at all that had nothing to do with their utility."

I just received the terribly distressing news that Gordon Wood was hit by a car and killed yesterday. We were together with other Founding era scholars at the 2nd Judicial Circuit conference last week at Lake George, and he was as usual in fine fettle and as always enjoyable to talk to.

One favorite is Esther Phillips's cover of Gil Scott-Heron's Home Is Where the Hatred Is. Don't dismiss it for the slick, urbane (for the time) Creed Taylor production; the lyrics cut close to the bone for Phillips, and it comes through. open.spotify.com/track/55oPHq...
