More From Hubert H. Humphrey

It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

When dawn looked at vic, she saw vic exactly as he wanted to be seen. whereas vic's parents couldn't help seeing who he used to be, and so many friends and strangers couldn't help seeing who he didn't want to be anymore, dawn only saw him. call it a blur if you want, but dawn didn't see a blur. she saw a very distinct, very clear person.

When you become a parent, or a teacher, you turn into a manager of this whole system. you become the person controlling the bubble of innocence around a child, regulating it.

No, there is now no circumstance known in which it can be affirmed that microscopic beings came into the world without germs, without parents similar to themselves. those who affirm it have been duped by illusions, by ill-conducted experiments, spoilt by errors that they either did not perceive or did not know how to avoid.
