Fear of rejection or concerns that others will find your ideas unworthy can be serious detriments to living a creative life. They limit your ability to mingle with other creative individuals and prevent you from getting valuable feedback.

The ideals that our intellectuals have been instilling in us are utopian ideals, designed for men and women who know no enemy and who do not need to take precautions against him. They are values appropriate for a world in which everyone plays by the same rules, and accepts the same standards, of rational cooperation; they are fatally unrealistic in a world in which the enemy acknowledges no rule except that of ruthlessness. To insist on maintaining utopian values when your society is facing an enemy who wishes only to annihilate you is to invite annihilation. And that is unacceptable.

Lee Harris

Editor's Note: As your faithful RAI quote-finder, I have read quite a bit about 9/11. However, this book is by far and away the most thoughtful and though-provoking writing you will find on the topic. Not always easy reading, but well worth it. I found my copy at the local Barnes and Nobles. Also available at Amazon, etc.
