The difference between a man who is led by opinion or emotion and one who is led by reason. the former, whether he will or not, performs things of which he is entirely ignorant; the latter is subordinate to no one, and only does those things which he knows to be of primary importance in his life, and which on that account he desires the most; and therefore i call the former a slave, but the latter free.

You can't exceed the system with language. you can only exceed the system with events; recommended procedures that are better. you can't exceed the system by telling people to be good, be kind, be considerate... you have to take away the conditions that makes it necessary for you to be kind. and to be kind, you design highways that aren't slippery; where no accidents, or less accidents, occur. in the future, everybody becomes an innovator - a creator.

The earth belongs to the living. no man can, by natural right, oblige the lands he occupied or the persons who succeed him in that occupation, to the payment of debts contracted by him. for if he could, he might, during his own life, eat up the use of the lands for several generations to come, and then the lands would belong to the dead, and not to the living. no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its own existence.

Most codes extend their definitions of treason to acts not really against one's country. they do not distinguish between acts against the government, and acts against the oppressions of the government. the latter are virtues, yet have furnished more victims to the executioner than the former. real treasons are rare; oppressions frequent. the unsuccessful strugglers against tyranny have been the chief martyrs of treason laws in all countries.

I feel that for years of teaching in the country and reading criticism in books, i feel like the things most needed in our culture are the understanding of the meanings of our music. we haven't done that good of job teaching our kids what our music means or how we developed our taste in music that reminds us and teaches us who we are.
