Kids Men Practice
You can't kill love. you can't even kill it with hate. you can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. you can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can't kill love itself. love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it's a part of god, or what we call god, and it can never die.
Regret Hate Love You
You did not kill the fish only to keep alive and to sell for food, he thought. you killed him for pride and because you are a fisherman. you loved him when he was alive and you loved him after. if you love him, it is not a sin to kill him. or is it more?
Pride Sea Alive
I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage. it's just one human being marrying another human being or one human being living around and with another human being.
Believe White Humanity
The ideal state is that in which an injury done to the least of its citizens is an injury done to all.
Citizens Done Injury
Any time you demonstrate against segregation and a man has the audacity to put a police dog on you, kill that dog, kill him, i'm telling you, kill that dog. i say it if they put me in jail tomorrow, kill that dog. then you'll put a stop to it.

Faith: the opposite of dogmatism.
Opposites Dogmatism
No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. i also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish - consciously or unconsciously - that we were as innocent as they are, and make us yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness, the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.
Relationship Dog Betrayal
Sweet was the sound, when oft, at evening's close, up yonder hill the village murmur rose; there as i passed, with careless steps and slow, the mingling notes came soften'd from below; the swain responsive as the milkmaid sung, the sober herd that low'd to meet their young; the noisy geese that gabbled o'er the pool, the playful children just let loose from school; the watch-dog's voice that bay'd the whispering wind, and the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind; these all in sweet confusion sought the shade, and fill'd each pause the nightingale had made.
Dog Sweet Children
Contact with [menstrual blood] turns new wine sour, crops touched by it become barren, grafts die, seed in gardens are dried up, the fruit of trees fall off, the edge of steel and the gleam of ivory are dulled, hives of bees die, even bronze and iron are at once seized by rust, and a horrible smell fills the air; to taste it drives dogs mad and infects their bites with an incurable poison.
