More From Samuel P. Huntington

The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. one writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. one writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to 'grace'.

The winner is always part of the answer. the loser is always part of the problem. the winner always has a program. the loser always has an excuse. the winner says, "let me do it for you." the loser says, "that's not my job." the winner sees an answer for every problem. the loser sees a problem for every answer. the winner sees a green near every sand trap the loser sees two or three sand traps near every green. the winner says, "it may be difficult but it's possible." the loser says, "it might be possible but it's too difficult." be a winner.

We always have the movies that are more toward real life, but they don't have that much drama or suspense, or we have the full of drama or suspense, but they're far away from real life. always when i was watching a film, films with good drama, i was thinking, "i wish they were more close to real life." but when i was watching real life films i was thinking, "well i wish it had more drama." i've tried, in the movies that i worked so far, to get these two things closer and closer to each other.

Utilitarianism is a civilization of production and of use, a civilization of "things" and not of "persons," a civilization in which persons are used in the same way as things are used. in the context of a civilization of use, woman can become an object for man, children a hindrance to parents, the family an institution obstructing the freedom of its members.

Why one writes is a question i can answer easily, having so often asked it of myself. i believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live. i could not live in any of the worlds offered to me - the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. i had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which i could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. that, i believe, is the reason for every work of art.

Every artist, every scientist, must decide now where he stands. he has no alternative. there is no standing above the conflict on olympian heights. there are no impartial observers. through the destruction, in certain countries, of the greatest of man's literary heritage, through the propagation of false ideas of racial and national superiority, the artist, the scientist, the writer is challenged. the struggle invades the formerly cloistered halls of our universities and other seats of learning. the battlefront is everywhere. there is no sheltered rear.

The destinies of the two races in this country are indissolubly linked together, and the interests of both require that the common government of all shall not permit the seeds of race hate to be planted under the sanction of law.
