More From Vincent Van Gogh

In april, we cannot see sunflowers in france, so we might say the sunflowers do not exist. but the local farmers have already planted thousands of seeds, and when they look at the bare hills, they may be able to see the sunflowers already. the sunflowers are there. they lack only the conditions of sun, heat, rain and july. just because we cannot see them does not mean that they do not exist.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.

The sign said 'the green turtle, chelonia myadas, is the source of turtle soup....' i am the source of william g. soup if it comes to that. everyone is the source of his or her kind of soup. in a town as big as london, that's a lot of soup walking around.

Let's also say that the justice department and the courts are making sure, as i've said in a speech before, that when jamal sends his résumé in, he's getting treated the same as when johnny sends his résumé in.now, are we going to have suddenly the same number of ceos, billionaires, etc., as the white community? in 10 years? probably not, maybe not even in 20 years. but i guarantee you that we would be thriving, we would be succeeding. we wouldn't have huge numbers of young african american men in jail.
