new-york growth levels
I got a cable from New York saying that what I'd written about the growth of Soviet agricultural production didn't make sense because the same levels were reached under the czars. I wanted to confirm it, but by then the censors were on to me.
art literature needs
Journalism students need to understand it and need a solid background in the liberal arts, in sociology, economics, literature and language, because they won't get it later on.
moon thinking achievement
I think that it is a great achievement to put a person on the moon. But to put a person on the earth-that is even more.
cities doors way
By the way, I understand that now you can have the Times delivered to your door here in the Twin Cities.
morning cost downtown
The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.
book writing effort
I wouldn't write any kind of book without a contract and an advance. You can't invest that amount of time and effort without one.

The clash between the aspirations of the people for a better life and the insistence of their rulers on building a powerful state, regardless of human sacrifice, runs through the whole of Russian history
philosophy struggle future
No one can be certain where a nation which spans two continents, whose history begins in the faint traces of early civilization, a nation now struggling to find a new and valid philosophy of existence, will be propelled by the transcendental forces of the nuclear age.
children winter cities
Why can't a state that launches cosmonauts into space provide enough eggs and milk for its city children during the winter months?
thinking order talking
I think it's important to travel around in order to get a notion of what's going on, to find out what people are think about. I enjoy talking on campuses most because people are more informed and discussion is generally livelier.
lessons shortcuts life-is
There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.
thinking sound pretentious
This sounds horribly pretentious, but I like to think that if music hadn't existed, I could have invented it.
theory wanted
When I dealt with set theory, I could never make it be the music that I wanted.
attitude next-week years
The theatre only knows what it's doing next week, not like the opera, where they say: What are we going to do in five years' time? A completely different attitude.
