More From Enoch Powell

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

Enthusiasm reaches out with joy, for there is nothing depressing about it; it reaches out in faith, for there is no fear in it; it reaches out with acceptance, for there is no doubt in it; it reaches out as a child for there is no uncertainty about it.

Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. there is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. a table is a table, food is food, we are we - because we don't question these things. and science is the enemy because it is the questioner. faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
Life Taken Science
Our policy is to give all possible material aid to the nations that still resist aggression across the atlantic and pacific oceans. and we make it abundantly clear that we intend to commit none of the fatal errors of appeasement. we have the thought that in this nation of many states we have found the way in which men of many racial origins may live together in peace. if the human race as a whole is to survive, the world must find a way by which men and nations may live together in peace. we cannot accept the doctrine that war must be forever a part of man's destiny.

In the beginning of the 19th century, maybe forty percent of women and fifty percent of men could produce a signature, which meant that they'd had at least three years of education because it was in third grade that people started penmanship in the 19th century. and of course black people could get killed if they got caught teaching themselves to read in some parts of the country.

My role models are people who can do things; i say to myself, "i wish i could do that." like women who endure hardships and turn their luck around and bring up children on their own and start a business. or a social worker who leaves his country, his comfort, his friends, and goes far away to help people he doesn't know. i want to evolve into that, ultimately. i want to be that person who could sacrifice everything for others.

[david lean's] images stay with me forever. but what makes them memorable isn't necessarily their beauty. that's just good photography. it's the emotion behind those images that's meant the most to me over the years. it's the way david lean can put feeling on film. the way he shows a whole landscape of the spirit. for me, that's the real geography of david lean country. and that's why, in a david lean movie, there's no such thing as an empty landscape.
