More From Theodore Roosevelt

Let the straight flower bespeak its purpose in straightness - to seek the light. let the crooked flower bespeak its purpose in crookedness - to seek the light. let the crookedness and straightness bespeak the light.
Flower Light Purpose
The good news is that by the second year, those cravings were about as half as frequent, and by the third year, half as much again. i'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things crooked, i can't complain. after all those years of all kinds of abuse and crashing into trees at eighty miles an hour and jumping off buildings and living through overdoses and liver disease, i feel better now than i did ten years ago. i might have some scar tissue, but that's alright, i'm still making progress.
Feel Better Jumping Years
There is no self-interest completely unrelated to others' interests. due to the fundamental interconnectedness which lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. from this it becomes clear that "my" interest and "your" interest are intimately connected. in a deep sense, they converge.

Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. trust ghosts. trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. trust dreams. trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'instructions')

Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

This is not to say there are not chicagoans. but i would suggest that they are a nomadic people, whose lost home exists only in their minds, and in the glowing crystal memory cells they all carry in the palms of their hands: a great idea of a second city, lit with life and love, reasonable drink prices at cool bars, and, of course, blocks and blocks of bright and devastating fire.

There will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who won't agree with every decision or policy i make as president. and we know the government can't solve every problem. but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you, especially when we disagree. and, above all, i will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in america for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

If you're so pro-life, do me a favour: don't lock arms and block medical clinics. if you're so pro-life, lock arms and block cemeteries.

I don't really think of time off as writing blocks. i think that's a western notion of demonizing inactivity. when your imagination decides it needs to take a nap. maybe that's what it needs to do.
