More From George Santayana

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
Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.

Monopolies are not justified by theory; they should be permitted only when justified by facts. if there is no solid basis for extending a certain monopoly protection, then we should not extend that protection. this does not mean that every copyright must prove its value initially. that would be a far too cumbersome system of control. but it does mean that every system or category of copyright or patent should prove its worth. before the monopoly should be permitted, there must be reason to believe it will do some good -- for society, and not just for monopoly holders.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you tell kids they're stupid--directly or indirectly--sooner or later they start to believe it.
Stupid Believe Kids
I did not believe that a cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. i insisted that our cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. if it meant that, i did not want it.
