More From Mary Todd Lincoln

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
Vexation of spirit is a waste of time negative thinking, don't you waste your thoughts verbal conflict is a waste of word physical conflict is a waste of flesh people will always be who they want and that's what really makes the world go round unconditional love is scarce.
Unconditional Love Love Is Thinking
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Love Is Opposites Justice
I'm a better musician now, and i rarely practice because age has taught me the value of economy. and i think i'm a better writer now because i don't waste as much time, dilly-dallying and sassafrassin' and sloop and sloppin' and frying eggs. when you start writing, half the time you're just saying howdy to the page. my process now is a little more lean and muscular. i don't waste a lot of time. when i had kids, i learned how much time i had before, and how much time you actually need to do something. if you don't have time, you'll just do it and get it done.
Writing Kids Thinking
All should be taught that the highest ambition is to be happy, and to add to the well-being of others; that place and power are not necessary to success; that the desire to acquire great wealth is a kind of insanity. they should be taught that it is a waste of energy, a waste of thought, a waste of life, to acquire what you do not need and what you do not really use for the benefit of yourself or others.
Money Ambition Insanity
It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the state has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. all the power it has is what society gives it, plus what it confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another, there is no other source from which state power can be drawn. therefore every assumption of state power, whether by gift or seizure leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can be, any strengthening of state power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power.

I'm physically completely mal-coordinated. my best friend used to make me run for the bus just to give herself a quick, cheap laugh because i definitely don't have that sophisticated cool thing down.

Even one word, or certainly one sentence, should be able to describe the basic characteristic that the scene has, or the character has, or the story has. and then you begin to detail that one spine, and you have offshoots from that spine, and it becomes more and more complex, but all of it stems from that one-word, one-line theme, which can give the character, the scene, or the play its uniqueness.
