More From Robert Fulghum

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

If you had to explain america's economic success with one word, that word would be "education".... until now, the results of educational neglect have been gradual - a slow-motion erosion of america's relative position. but things are about to get much worse, as the economic crisis ... deals a severe blow to education across the board.... we need to wake up and realize that one of the keys to our nation's historic success is now a wasting asset. education made america great; neglect of education can reverse the process.

We're running into a lot of new problems today because of what we emphasize in this culture. the word 'success' to the average person means earning a lot of money and having a home, two cars, children in college. success to me is entirely different to what success is to the average person. success is being a successful human being in terms of pursuing what you believe in. if you believe in making paintings, writing poetry, writing music. if this is what you really want, you're successful to yourself. but to be successful to your culture means to sell yourself short of what you really want

In the end it all comes down to talent. you can talk all you want about intangibles, i just don't know what that means. talent makes winners, not intangibles. can nice guys win? sure, nice guys can win - if they're nice guys with a lot of talent. nice guys with a little talent finish fourth, and nice guys with no talent finish last.
Nice Mean Winning
- might it console you to know that i expect nothing but torture from her return? that i regard you as a bird of paradise? she shook her head. - that my admiration for you is painfully strong? - i want van – she cried – and not intangible admiration. - intangible? you goose. you my gauge it, you may brush it once very lightly with the knuckles of you gloved hand. i said knuckles. i said once. that will do. i can't kiss you. not even your burning face. good-bye, pet. tell edmond to take a nap after he returns. i shall need him at two in the morning.

Women's education has a much greater impact [on], for example, fertility. men's education, if our studies are correct, ha[s] almost no impact on fertility. women's do. so, by the way, as a man, it's not to the glory of men specifically that it's women's education that reduces child mortality.

As a cultural-intellectual power and a moral ideal, collectivism died in world war ii. if we are still rolling in its direction, it is only by the inertia of a void and the momentum of disintegration. a social movement that began with the ponderous, brain-cracking, dialectical constructs of hegel and marx, and ends up with a horde of morally unwashed children stamping their foot and shrieking: "i want it now is through."

She felt detached from her family, and thought it strange how they had lavished so much attention on her, as a child, and then at some appointed, prearranged time they seemed to stop the flow of affection and being the expectations - as if, for a brief phrase, you were expected to absorb love (and get enough), and then, for a much longer and more serious phase, you were expected to fulfill certain obligations.
