More From Nelson A. Miles

Social cohesion was built into language long before facebook and linkedin and twitter - we're tribal by nature. tribes today aren't the same as tribes thousand of years ago: it isn't just religious tribes or ethnic tribes now: it's sports fans, it's communities, it's geography.

The american public has difficulty believing ... [that] injustice continues to be inflicted upon indian people because americans assume that the sympathy and tolerance they feel toward indians is somehow 'felt' or transferred to the government policy that deals with indians. this is not the case.
Believe Government People
The turn of the century was the lowest point for the devastation of indian culture by disease and persecution, and it's a wonder to me that they survived it and have not only maintained their identity, but are actually growing stronger in some ways. the situation is still very bad, especially in certain geographical areas, but there are more indians going to school, more indians becoming professional people, more indians assuming full responsibility in our society. we have a long way to go, but we're making great strides.
School Responsibility Growing Stronger
I don't understand why anyone would collect my work. please understand... it's like writing our house. it took me an hour, it was 30 years ago, get over it! but people say, no, no, it changed my life, and i don't understand that. i can't take that seriously as a producer of what i consider to be art. if they want to collect it, fantastic. if you see what i saw when i took it and it means something to you, then by all means collect it. if i make some money, um, fine.

I collect dice and i collect coins. i travel the world so i love dice, i always have dice on me. i collect magnets as well.
Coins World Dice
The necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. they find it difficult to get food, and the greater part of their little revenue is spent in getting it. the luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess ... it is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.

I have a lot of vanity.
Vanity
Whatever littleness and vanity is to be observed in the minds of women, it is, like the cruelty of butchers, a temper that is wrought into them by that life which they are taught and accustomed to lead.
Christian Religious Vanity
It would be next to impossible to discover a handsome woman who was not also a vain woman.
Vanity Would Be Handsome
I have come to have the firm conviction that vanity is the basis of everything, and finally that what one calls conscience is only inner vanity.
