There should be a class on drugs. there should be a class on sex education-a real sex education class-not just pictures and diaphragms and 'un-logical' terms and things like that.....there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in america, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on gym, physical education, let's learn volleyball.

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

By destroying the peasant economy and driving the peasant from the country to the town, the famine creates a proletariat... furthermore the famine can and should be a progressive factor not only economically. it will force the peasant to reflect on the bases of the capitalist system, demolish faith in the tsar and tsarism, and consequently in due course make the victory of the revolution easier... psychologically all this talk about feeding the starving and so on essentially reflects the usual sugary sentimentality of our intelligentsia.

I must remind you that starving a child is violence. suppressing a culture is violence. neglecting school children is violence. punishing a mother and her family is violence. discrimination against a working man is violence. ghetto housing is violence. ignoring medical need is violence. contempt for poverty is violence.

All violence is injustice. responding to violence with violence is injustice, not only to the other person but also to oneself. responding to violence with violence resolves nothing; it only escalates violence, anger and hatred. it is only with compassion that we can embrace and disintegrate violence. this is true in relationships between individuals as well as in relationships between nations.

Aladdin in his most intoxicated moments would never have dreamed of asking his [djinn] for [a polaroid] ... it's utterly new in concept and appearance, utilizing an utterly revolutionary flash system, an utterly revolutionary viewing system, utterly revolutionary electronics, and utterly revolutionary film structure.

I started writing novels while an undergraduate student, in an attempt to make sense of the city of edinburgh, using a detective as my protagonist. each book hopefully adds another piece to the jigsaw that is modern scotland, asking questions about the nation's politics, economy, psyche and history ... and perhaps pointing towards its possible future.

Occasionally an unsuspecting innocent will stumble into a movie like this and send me an anguished postcard, asking how i could possibly give a favorable review to such trash. my stock response is ebert's law, which reads: a movie is not about what it is about. it is about how it is about it.

The people who keep asking if they can't lead a decent life without christ, don't know what life is about; if they did they would know that 'a decent life' is mere machinery compared with the thing we men are really made for.

Multi-tasking arises out of distraction itself.
