More From Eric Liu

Slackers might look like the left-behinds of society, but they are actually one step ahead, rejecting most of society and the social hierarchy before it rejects them. the dictionary defines slackers as people who evade duties and responsibilities. a more modern notion would be people who are ultimately being responsible to themselves and not wasting their time in a realm of activity that has nothing to do with who they are or what they might be ultimately striving for.

The proper motto is not be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever, but be good sweet maid, and don't forget that this involves being as clever as you can. god is no fonder of intellectual slackers than any other slackers.

God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. if you are thinking of becoming a christian, i warn you you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all.

We've always had the blame-america crowd. we've always had the hate-america crowd. but we've now had at least two generations of education where this has been indoctrinated into the young skulls full of mush of young people. they've heard how horrible america was back in the days of slavery. they've heard how horrible america treated women. they've heard how horrible every minority group was treated. they've heard how mean-spirited the founders were. they've heard all kinds of literal lies.
Lying Hate Mean
Today's children are living a childhood of firsts. they are the first daycare generation; the first truly multicultural generation; the first generation to grow up in the electronic bubble, the environment defined by computers and new forms of television; the first post-sexual revolution generation; the first generation for which nature is more abstraction than reality; the first generation to grow up in new kinds of dispersed, deconcentrated cities, not quite urban, rural, or suburban.

When i was a kid they didn't call it dyslexia. they called it you know, you were slow, or you were retarded, or whatever. what you can never change is the effect that the words 'dumb' and 'stupid' have on young people. i knew i wasn't stupid, and i knew i wasn't dumb. my mother told me that. if you read to me, i could tell you everything that you read. they didn't know what it was. they knew i wasn't lazy, but what was it?

Similar Quotes
There is in all visible things an invisible fecundity, a dimmed light, a meek namelessness, a hidden wholeness. this mysterious unity and integrity is wisdom, the mother of us all, "natura naturans." there is in all things an inexhaustible sweetness and purity, a silence that is a fountain of action and joy. it rises up in wordless gentleness, and flows out to me from the unseen roots of all created being.
Mother Nature Integrity
John mccain responded to critics who say he's too old for a sixth term by saying that his mother is 103 years old and doing well. the crazy thing is that even she is somehow younger than john mccain.
Mother Crazy Years
Children are all more or less little monkeys in that they imitate everything they see. if their mother treats them exactly as she does her visitors they in turn play "visitor" to perfection. nothing hurts the feelings of children more than not being allowed to behave like grown persons when they think they are able.
Mother Hurt Children
If i get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me, i could fit in at least one, maybe two new lifetimes. sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children.
