Ideology, politics and journalism, which luxuriate in failure, are impotent in the face of hope and joy. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Love is blind. My politics has been, too. I think you can fall in love with ideas, and you can fall in love with people. It's a very subjective experience. And I'm loyal to that experience. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I have never found, in a long experience of politics, that criticism is ever inhibited by ignorance. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Politics is the only field in which the more experience you have, the worse you get. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
One of the things that's great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education, academia, the service industry, arts, publishing, theater, politics, fashion, finance, as well as movie-making. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The world we build tomorrow is born in the stories we tell our children today. Politics moves the pieces. Education changes the game. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Our politics are our deepest form of expression: they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end. This view of life and death was reinforced by my close witnessing of the buildup to the death of Philip Gould. Philip was without doubt my closest friend in politics. When he died, I felt like I had lost a limb. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Politicians... talk in generalities and lies, and I think they've caused all our grief. They're so awful, they're really funny. I hate thinking this because my dad loved politics. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
People who build family businesses are not classically trained. They have to deal with an enormous amount of politics. You think corporate politics are tough? Go work for your dad or your mom. Jul 08, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
