More From Henri Rousseau

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

The more humanity owes him, the more society denies him. every door is shut against him, even when he has a right to its being opened: and if he ever obtains justice, it is with much greater difficulty than others obtain favors.

Every reiteration of the idea that _nothing matters_ debases the human spirit. every reiteration of the idea that there is no drama in modern life, there is only dramatization, that there is no tragedy, there is only unexplained misfortune, debases us. it denies what we know to be true. in denying what we know, we are as a nation which cannot remember its dreams--like an unhappy person who cannot remember his dreams and so denies that he does dream, and denies that there are such things as dreams.

An employer has no business with a man's personality. employment is a specific contract calling for a specific performance... any attempt to go beyond that is usurpation. it is immoral as well as an illegal intrusion of privacy. it is abuse of power. an employee owes no "loyalty," he owes no "love" and no "attitudes" - he owes performance and nothing else. .... the task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.

It is human self-renunciation when a man denies himself and the world opens up to him. but it is christian self-renunciation when he denies himself and, because the world precisely for this shuts itself up to him, he must as one thrust out by the world seek god's confidence. the double-danger lies precisely in meeting opposition there where he had expected to find support, and he has to turn about twice; whereas the merely human self-resignation turns once.

Humanity looks upon jesus the nazarene as a poor-born who suffered misery and humiliation with all of the weak. and he is pitied, for humanity believes he was crucified painfully. . . . and all that humanity offers to him is crying and wailing and lamentation. for centuries humanity has been worshiping weakness in the person of the savior. the nazarene was not weak! he was strong and is strong! but the people refuse to heed the true meaning of strength.

When, in short, we shall have unlearned everything which has been taught since his [jesus'] day, and got back to the pure and simple doctrines he inculcated, we shall then be truly and worthily his disciples: and my opinion is that if nothing had ever been added to what flowed purely from his lips, the whole world would at this day have been christian.

And jesus was a jew too. your god. he was a jew like me. and so was his father.

More than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules which make us harsh judges, within habits which make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and jesus does not tire of saying to us: 'give them something to eat.'

The best christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another. jesus is the reason for the season! from a little spark may burst a mighty flame. the only blind person at christmastime is he who has not christmas in his heart.
