More From Malcolm Gladwell

If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. i'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. as schubert said, there is no happy music. and that's true, there really isn't. and there's probably no happy nonsense, either.

The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.

It is good that the window should be transparent, because the street or garden beyond it is opaque. how if you saw through the garden too? it is no use trying to 'see through' [everything]. if you see through everything, then everything is transparent. but a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. to 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.

You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.

Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. it's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! i talk nonsense, therefore i'm human
Talking Privilege Nonsense
Nonsense, it was all nonsense: this whole damned outfit, with its committees, its conferences, its eternal talk, talk, talk, was a great con trick; it was a mechanism to earn a few hundred men and women incredible sums of money.

The internal call is when the spirit of god accompanies the outward administration of the word to call a man from ignorance to knowledge, and a state of nature to a state of grace.
Ignorance Men Grace
If a single man demanded as much as a man with a wife and four children, then that would be a violation of the concept of economic equality.
