Today's children are living a childhood of firsts. they are the first daycare generation; the first truly multicultural generation; the first generation to grow up in the electronic bubble, the environment defined by computers and new forms of television; the first post-sexual revolution generation; the first generation for which nature is more abstraction than reality; the first generation to grow up in new kinds of dispersed, deconcentrated cities, not quite urban, rural, or suburban.

I think daycare is great for people who have to work two jobs. my problem is with people who are dropping kids off at daycare because they want to go out and spend the day golfing or getting their nails done. you know what i mean? that's not why they invented daycare.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

In some ways it's hard to see electronic music as a genre because the word "electronic" just refers to how it's made. hip-hop is electronic music. most reggae is electronic. pop is electronic. house music, techno, all these sorts of ostensibly disparate genres are sort of being created with the same equipment.

I've not won different awards - many, many times - so luckily i've practiced that whenever you are nominated for anything, you enter into this marvelous, fantabulous bubble called the bubble of nomination. the minute the envelope is opened and your name isn't called out, the bubble bursts. and no one calls you up the next day to say, 'so sorry you didn't win,' or 'you looked gorgeous - nothing. if you win, you get about another 24 hours in that lovely bubble and then - pop - you are slightly wet all over from the bubble and realize that you have to get on with real life.
Sorry Real Winning
A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.

I've lived long enough to see the triumph of zealots and absolutists, to watch money swallow politics, to witness the rise of the corporate state. see the party of working and poor people become a sycophant of crony capitalism. watch the union of church and state become fashionable again. witness the coupling of news and entertainment. see everyday people cast overboard as the pirates and predators of wall street seized the ship of state. i didn't drift; i moved left just by standing still.

You build a golf game like you build a wall, one brick at a time.
Wall Golf Games
He had thrown himself away, he had lost interest in everything, and life, falling in with his feelings, had demanded nothing of him. he had lived as an outsider, an idler and onlooker, well liked in his young manhood, alone in his illness and advancing years. seized with weariness, he sat down on the wall, and the river murmured darkly in his thoughts.
Wall Fall Rivers
These days, more than any other time, we are worried about our personal life, our private life. when we talk about our private life, it means our home, our body even. it seems that when we want to have calmness in this world, we make a wall around us. this gives us a very calm environment, and when we feel that somebody is intruding into that, it makes us very angry and we feel we have to do something about it.
