When i go to a great movie, i can live somebody else's life a little bit for a while. i can walk in somebody else's shoes. i can see what it feels like to be a member of a different gender, a different race, a different economic class, to live in a different time, to have a different belief.

There should be a class on drugs. there should be a class on sex education-a real sex education class-not just pictures and diaphragms and 'un-logical' terms and things like that.....there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in america, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on gym, physical education, let's learn volleyball.

In my culture, shoes are more or less the first thing women look at. women look at the build, and then they look at the shoes. if you don't have nice shoes, you don't have money. when i meet a lawyer, the first thing i look at are his shoes. if he has good shoes, he's getting my money.
Nice Shoes Culture
I really had no great love for shoes. i was a working first lady; i was always in canvas shoes. i did nurture the shoes industry of the philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, i would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.

No matter how old i get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. my times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others.

It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.

I was travelling with bruce sterling on our mutual difference engine tour and he became aware from the experience of travelling with me that i would distinguish among the shoes in a perfectly normal fashion, but form him it was a revelation. there's a very lyrical passage in holy fire about old wealthy european men and their shoes, and how beautiful their shoes are, and how there have never been shoes as beautiful. i think that that was probably as close as bruce will ever get to homage in my direction. i made him aware of footwear fashion.

Trees have about them something beautiful and attractive even to the fancy, since they cannot change their places, are witnesses of all the changes that take place around them; and as some reach a great age, they become, as it were, historical monuments, and like ourselves they have a life, growing and passing away, --not being inanimate and unvarying like the fields and rivers. one sees them passing through various stages, and at last step by step approaching death, which makes them look still more like ourselves.

Every human being has within him an ideal man, just as every piece of marble contains in a rough state a statue as beautiful as the one that praxiteles the greek made of the god apollo.

I am not loved. i am not a beautiful soul. i am not a good-natured, giving person. i am not anybody's savior.
Beautiful Giving Soul
Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. it is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosaic, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill.
