More From Esther Forbes

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. they laughed at columbus, they laughed at fulton, they laughed at the wright brothers. but they also laughed at bozo the clown.
Funny Brother Laughter
The little boy and the old man said the little boy, "sometimes i drop my spoon." said the old man, "i do that too." the little boy whispered, "i wet my pants." i do that too," laughed the little old man. said the little boy, "i often cry." the old man nodded, "so do i." but worst of all," said the boy, "it seems grown-ups don't pay attention to me." and he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. i know what you mean," said the little old man.
Mean Men Boys
It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.
War Fighting World
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
I have an autographed photo from johnny depp that says, "to emma, one of the most beautiful people i've ever met. love, johnny." at nine you don't know who johnny depp is - but at 16 i was like, "oh my god."

I never have thought i was beautiful and i never can get beautiful enough. i'm always doing whatever i can to look as good as i can, nipping and tucking if necessary. when you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. but i don't care. i'm just totally convinced that it's more important that i be happy with me.
