The catch-all phrase "the war on terrorism", in all honesty, has no more meaning than if one wants to wage a war against "criminal gangsterism". terrorism is a tactic. you can't have a war against a tactic. it's deliberately vague and non-definable in order to justify and permit perpetual war anywhere and under any circumstance.

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. but in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. i am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.

If i have to reduce all of the laws of war into a single sentence, it is this. you divide the world into two, combatants and noncombatants. you can attack deliberately combatants, but not deliberately noncombatants. israel acts that way. it attacks combatants and accidentally kills noncombatants. but in the case of the terrorists, it's the exact opposite. they deliberately attack combatants - noncombatants, civilians, deliberately.

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.

Terror is a tactic. we can not wage "war" against a tactic.

Although i may find the type of programming seen during the 2004 super bowl and the 2003 golden globe awards disgusting and disturbing, we must always work hard to defend the cherished freedoms so clearly outlined in our constitution, including a healthy and free press.

We went to america a few times and [brian] epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about vietnam. so there came a time when george [harrison] and i said 'listen, when they ask next time, we're going to say we don't like that war and we think they should get right out.' that's what we did.
