I think it was the beginning of mrs. bond's unquestioning faith in me when she saw me quickly enveloping the cat till all you could see of him was a small black and white head protruding from an immovable cocoon of cloth. he and i were now facing each other, more or less eyeball to eyeball, and george couldn't do a thing about it. as i say, i rather pride myself on this little expertise, and even today my veterinary colleagues have been known to remark, "old herriot may be limited in many respects, but by god he can wrap a cat.

Oh cat, i'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat! delicious cat! exquisite cat! satiny cat! cat like a soft owl, cat with paws like moths, jewelled cat, miraculous cat! cat, cat, cat, cat.
Cat Owl Paws
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

If the nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. the element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. the difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. it is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the people.

Growing Up Yellow White
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next. mere tolerance has given place to a sentiment of brotherhood between sincere men of all denominations.

The materialistic idealism that governs american life, that on the one hand makes a chariot of every grocery wagon, and on the other a mere hitching post of every star, lets every man lead a very enticing double life.

Never for a moment do we lay aside our mistrust of the ideals established by society, and of the convictions which are kept by it in circulation. we always know that society is full of folly and will deceive us in the matter of humanity. ... humanity meaning consideration for the existence and the happiness of individual human beings.
