"Neurological Politics"'
The Politics of Ecstasy (1968)
“Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you only take what is worth having.”

“Always ask for advice but never take it.”
Paul Holmes Holst (1997) p. 106.
Holst's maxim according to Vaughan Williams.
“What I want you to take seriously is what we have to do for the youth.”
1990s, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, Atlanta (1992)

Context: Just because you in Washington and you who are so out of touch with life in the media, just because you don't believe in anything doesn't mean nobody else does. We do. You know why you're confused by this show? It's because I believe in something. You don't.
Tea parties believe in small government. We believe in returning to the principles of our founding fathers. We respect them, we revere them. Shoot me in the head before I stop talking about the founders. Shoot me in the head if you try to change our government — I will stand against you. And so will millions of others. We believe in something. You in the media and most in Washington don't. The radicals that you and Washington have co-opted and brought in wearing sheep's clothing — change the pose. You will get the ends. You've been using them? They believe in Communism. They believe and have called for revolutionar — a revolution. You're going to have to shoot them in the head. But warning: they may shoot you.
They are dangerous because they believe. Karl Marx is their George Washington. You will never change their mind. And if they feel you have lied to them — they're revolutionaries. Nancy Pelosi, those are the people you should be worried about.
Here is my advice when you're dealing with people who believe in something that strongly — you take them seriously. You listen to their words and you believe that they will follow up with what they say.
“Take everything you like seriously, except yourselves.”
“You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement.”
