Swearing can be fun, but doing it all the time causes a lot of problems
We can always stick together when we are losing, but tend to find means of breaking up when we're winning. In Grace under Pressure, by Hastie, 1984.
We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.
To protest against injustice is the foundation of all our American democracy.
I wish I could say that racism and prejudice were only distant memories. . . We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. . . We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.
Whoever aspires to win the grace of God should cultivate at the outset the quality of Kshama (Forgiveness).
I think of Mike Myers as the Buster Keaton of today. I think he's brought us something so special.
Getting it off the ground is one thing because it has to do with finding the proper people and the financing, but finding the subject is another thing and this is always for me the most difficult part.
After all, if you had the complete decision process, you could run it as an AI, and I'd be coding it up right now.
