The various levels of problems and issues are interwoven, so that solving any one of them without simultaneously addressing the others rarely works for long.
What's clarity like? Try to remember that funny feeling inside your head when you had math problems too difficult to solve: the faint buzzing noise in your ears, a heaviness on both sides of your skull, and the sensation that your brain is twitching inside your cranium like a fish on the beach. This is the opposite sensation of clarity. Yet for many people of my era, as they aged, this sensation became the dominant sensation of their lives. It was as though day-to-day twentieth century living had become an unsolvable algebraic equation.
ARGH! There's no such thing [as writer's block]. Seriously: THERE. IS. NO. SUCH. THING. You know what there is? There's a bunch of problems, creative and otherwise, that can stop you writing. They are not block. They are important skills.
The art of writing is the art of doing what you think you're doing. This is not as simple as it sounds. It implies a very difficult undertaking: the necessity to think. And it implies the requirement to think out three separate, very hard problems: What is it you want to say? How are you going to say it? Have you really said it?
It strikes me as gruesome and comical that in our culture we have an expectation that man can always solve his problems. . . This is so untrue that it makes me want to cry-or laugh.

He has personality problems beyond the dreams of analysts.
God does not have problems. Only plans.
One of the problems with posing a 'bold new plan' is that you can't just extrapolate from previous plans.
Single men never have any problems. I suppose that the public builds some kind of idea from what they've seen of me on the screen.
Fighting is not internal, but it can be very spiritual. Everything acting is internal. One of my problems in making the transition is pulling back, but I'm working on it.
You see people waving. You dont see people having problems, with each other at least.
The severity of your problems is a matter of perspective. Change your perspective and most of them become insignificant. Some of them will no longer exist as problems - but opportunities instead.
We should get rid of the SAT as fast as we can. Look, there are bigger problems in society. This is not the biggest problem we have. But it's so easy to get rid of it. Right? Just pull the plug.
You will never solve the American problems just by printing money.
Some problems are better evaded than solved.
To solve these problems one needs as much an understanding of politics as an understanding of man - and the one cannot be derived from the other.
I need problems. A good problem makes me come alive.
One of the problems with computers, particularly for the older people, is they were befuddled by them, and the computers have gotten better. They have gotten easier to use. They have gotten less expensive. The software interfaces have made things a lot more accessible
The problems seem so easy out there on the stump. Deficits shrink with a rhetorical flourish.
