Babies aren't born knowing differences in color, gender, religions. they're taught those things. they're taught them at home. they're taught in the schools. they're taught in the churches. they're taught in the mosques, in the synagogues.

A dialogue is very important. it is a form of communication in which question and answer continue till a question is left without an answer. thus the question is suspended between the two persons involved in this answer and question. it is like a bud with untouched blossoms . . . if the question is left totally untouched by thought, it then has its own answer because the questioner and answerer, as persons, have disappeared. this is a form of dialogue in which investigation reaches a certain point of intensity and depth, which then has a quality that thought can never reach.
Communication Two Important
But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. to the question, "how did it all begin?", science answers, "probably by an accident." to the question, "how will it all end?", science answers, "probably by an accident." and to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "why are we here?" and, to the question, "what moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.

Why is one a slave to thought ? why has thought become so important in all our lives -thought being ideas, being the response to the accumulated memories in the brain cells? perhaps many of you have not even asked such a question before, or if you have you may have said, "it's of very little importance- what is important is emotion." but i don't see how you can separate the two. if thought does not give continuity to feeling, feeling dies very quickly. so why in our daily lives, in our grinding, boring, frightened lives, has thought taken on such inordinate importance?

Prison was a blessing. going to prison was the greatest thing that happened to me. it showed me that i wasn't infallible. it showed me that i was just human. it showed me that i can be back with my ghetto brothers i grew up with and have a good time. it taught me to cool out. it taught me patience. it taught me that i didn't ever want to lose my freedom. it taught me that drugs bring on the devil. it taught me to grow up.

Mrs forrester ... sat in state, pretending not to know what cakes were sent up, though she knew, and we knew, and she knew that we knew, and we knew that she knew that we knew, she had been busy all the morning making tea-bread and sponge-cakes.

When i was a kid, 'land of the lost' was my favorite show, just because it was - in the landscape of saturday morning cartoons - it was so unique. it was a live-action show and kids were in it, these creatures, these sleestaks and dinosaurs. every week was a different adventure. i couldn't wait. i loved it so much.
