More From John Legend

My chops were not as fast... [but] i just learned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops. i learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes
Long Guy Mind
So long as we continued to attach more importance to our own narrow group membership than to the 'global village' we would propagate prejudice and ignorance. there was absolutely no harm in being part of a small group - indeed, with our hunter-gatherer band mentality it gave comfort, provided us with an inner circle of friends who could be utterly trusted, who were absolutely reliable. it helped give us peace of mind. the danger came only from drawing that sharp line, digging that ditch, laying that minefield, between our own group and any other group that thought differently.
Ignorance Circles Drawing
ِan offer you can't refuse.
Refuse Offers
Facilitative attitudes (and skills) can help a therapist gain entry into the group freedom from a desire to control the outcome, and respect for the capacity of the group, and skills in releasing individual expression openness to all attitudes no matter how extreme or unrealistic they may seem acceptance of the problems experienced by the group where they are clearly defined as issues allowance of the freedom of choices in direction, either for the group or individuals particularly in the near future
Attitude Acceptance Expression
Safety lies in catering to the in-group. we are not all brave. all i would ask of writers who find it hard to question the universal validity of their personal opinions and affiliations is that they consider this: every group we belong to - by gender, sex, race, religion, age - is an in-group, surrounded by an immense out-group, living next door and all over the world, who will be alive as far into the future as humanity has a future. that out-group is called other people. it is for them that we write.
Sex Lying Writing
I am enthusiastic over humanity’s extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity. if you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. but this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. i think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday’s fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem.

In the 19th century inhumanity meant cruelty; in the 20th century it means schizoid self-alienation.
Mean Self Century
The goal towards which the pleasure principle impels us - of becoming happy - is not attainable: yet we may not - nay, cannot - give up the efforts to come nearer to realization of it by some means or other.
Giving Up Mean Goal
I do not mean to impugn the social justice and social expediency of the redistribution of incomes aimed at by n.i.r.a. and by the various schemes for agricultural restriction. the latter, in particular, i should strongly support in principle. but too much emphasis on the remedial value of a higher price-level as an object in itself may lead to serious misapprehension as to the part which prices can play in the technique of recovery. the stimulation of output by increasing aggregate purchasing power is the right way to get prices up; and not the other way round.
Mean Recovery Play
Every faction conditions its members to think and act a certain way. and most people do it. for most people, it's not hard to learn, to find a pattern of thought that works and stay that way. but our minds move in a dozen different directions. we can't be confined to one way of thinking, and that terrifies our leaders. it means we can't be controlled. and it means that no matter what they do, we will always cause trouble for them.
