More From Samuel Johnson

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

We do not want churches because they will teach us to quarrel about god. we do not want to learn that. we may quarrel with men sometimes about things on this earth, but we never quarrel about the great spirit. we do not want to learn that.
Men Justice Diversity
There is no basis in text, tradition, or even in contemporary practice (if that were enough), for finding in the constitution a right to demand judicial consideration of newly discovered evidence of innocence brought forward after conviction. my concern is that in making life easier for ourselves we not appear to make it harder for the lower federal courts, imposing upon them the burden of regularly analyzing newly-discovered-evidence-of-innocence claims in capital cases (in which event such federal claims, it can confidently be predicted, will become routine and even repetitive).

When i was one-and-twenty i heard a wise man say, `give crowns and pounds and guineas but not your heart away; give pearls away and rubies but keep your fancy free.' but i was one-and-twenty no use to talk to me. when i was one-and-twenty i heard him say again, `the heart out of the bosom was never given in vain; 'tis paid with sighs a plenty and sold for endless rue.' and i am two-and-twenty and oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

In 1492, the natives discovered they were indians, discovered they lived in america, discovered they were naked, discovered that the sin existed, discovered they owed allegiance to a king and kingdom from another world and a god from another sky, and that this god had invented the guilty and the dress, and had sent to be burnt alive who worships the sun the moon the earth and the rain that wets it.

It is quite proper to resist and attack a system, but to resist and attack its author is tantamount to resisting and attacking oneself, for we are all tarred with the same brush, and are children of one and the same creator, and as such the divine powers within us are infinite. to slight a single human being, is to slight those divine powers and thus to harm not only that being, but with him, the whole world.

I loved taking off. in my own house, i seemed to be often looking for a place to hide - sometimes from the children but more often from the jobs to be done and the phone ringing and the sociability of the neighborhood. i wanted to hide so that i could get busy at my real work, which was a sort of wooing of distant parts of myself.
