Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

Kids are beautiful, man. and they know much more than grownups think they know. kids are just perfect people until grownups get their hands on them.

What if there were no grownups? suppose the whole idea of grownups was an illusion? what if their money was really just playground marbles, their business deals no more than baseball-card trades, their wars only games of guns in the park? what if they were all still snotty-nosed kids inside their suits and dresses? christ, that couldn't be, could it? it was too horrible to think about.

As a kid, i really did want to hang out with the grownups, so it was hanging out with the hippest grownups in the world. this was the nicest bunch of people i've worked with in show business, with the exception of the people around 'a mighty wind.' it really was a wonderful eight years.

Many, and i think the determining, constitutive facts remain outside the reach of the operational concept. and by virtue of this limitation this methodological injunction against transitive concepts which might show the facts in their true light and call them by their true name the descriptive analysis of the facts blocks the apprehension of facts and becomes an element of the ideology that sustains the facts. proclaiming the existing social reality as its own norm, this sociology fortifies in the individuals the "faithless faith" in the reality whose victims they are.
Block Reality Thinking
What are the facts? again and again and again – what are the facts? shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? you pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. get the facts!

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy... in fact, violence merely increases hate. so it goes. returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
