More From Hubert H. Humphrey

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
The chicken noticed that the farmer came every day to feed it. it predicted that the farmer would continue to bring food every day. inductivists think that the chicken had "extrapolated" its observations into a theory, and that each feeding time added justification to that theory. then one day the farmer came and wrung the chicken's neck. this inductively justifies the conclusion that induction cannot justify any conclusion.

The farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children. the farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children, leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself.

The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

A picture can be an answer as well as a question but if you can't answer your question try to question your question... there can be questions without answers but no answers without questions.

We're like magic 8-balls. after you ask your question and shake the 8-ball, you read the answer in the little window. if you ever broke open a magic 8-ball with a hammer, you discovered that it contained a many-sided plastic object, with an answer on every facet, floating in a cylinder of murky blue fluid. the many-sided core held the answer to your question. my theory is that, as with our children, as with every surface of that geodesic dome inside the 8-ball, every age we've ever been is who we are.

By the age of six the average child will have completed the basic american education.... from television, the child will have learned how to pick a lock, commit a fairly elaborate bank holdup, prevent wetness all day long, get the laundry twice as white, and kill people with a variety of sophisticated armaments.

Through books and photographs, i saw a world that was not my own - and i realized that there was another world. that's why i'm concerned about education, because it helps our children see other worlds.

My father read charles dickens to us as children, and at the end of virtually every novel he would choke up and start to cry - and my father never cried. it always made me love him all the more.
