More From Gamal Abdel Nasser

Mix salt and sand, and it shall puzzle the wisest of men, with his mere natural appliances, to separate all the grains of sand from all the grains of salt; but a shower of rain will effect the same object in ten minutes.

People sometimes accuse me of knowing a lot. "stephen," they say, accusingly, "you know a lot." this is a bit like telling a person who has a few grains of sand clinging to him that he owns much sand. when you consider the vast amount of sand there is in the world such a person is, to all intents and purposes, sandless. we are all sandless. we are all ignorant. there are beaches and deserts and dunes of knowledge whose existance we have never even guessed at, let alone visited.

I would say except when i have been attacked the black community has seldom seen fit to even mention the gay aspect. and since when i have been attacked i have usually been defended by the black community, i would say that the black newspapers have played it very straight. if i was attacked they simply published that i was attacked, if i was defended they simply said i had been defended. but i don't think they have taken any effort at maligning me or maligning gays or making any effort to give to people anything that wasn't news.

I will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. it is not the constitution as i would like to have it, but as it is, that is to be defended. the constitution will not be preserved & defended until it is enforced & obeyed in every part of every one of the united states. it must be so respected, obeyed, enforced and defended, and let the grass grow where it may.

You who prattle that morality is social and that man would need no morality on a desert island - it is on a desert island that he would need it most. let him try to claim, when there are no victims to pay for it, that a rock is a house, that sand is clothing, that food will drop into his mouth without cause or effort, that he will collect a harvest tomorrow by devouring his stock seed today - and reality will wipe him out, as he deserves; reality will show him that life is a value to be bought and that thinking is the only coin noble enough to buy it.
