And i must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. and what is it america has failed to hear? it has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. it has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. and it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.

Truth is found neither in marxism nor in traditional capitalism. each represents a partial truth. historically capitalism failed to see the truth in collective enterprise, and marxism failed to see the truth in individual enterprise. nineteenth century capitalism failed to see that life is social and marxism failed and still fails to see that life is individual and personal. the kingdom of god is neither the thesis of individual enterprise nor the antithesis of collective enterprise, but a synthesis which reconciles the truths of both.

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.

You can say something that can really help and actor and you can say something that can really get in the way of an actor's performance, kind of cut them off from their instincts and really get into their heads. and every actor's different. every actor requires something different. being an actor, for me, was the greatest training to be a writer and director.

Hillary clinton failed to mention that her agreement with a precipitous withdrawal and declaration of victory in 2011 helped left swaths of territory and weaponry from isis. she failed to mention that she described bashar al-assad as a positive reformer and opened an american embassy. she failed to mention a complete failure strategy in libya, which now is enabling isis to move into libya.

Modern prophets say that our economics have failed us. no! it is not our economics which have failed; it is man who has failed-man who has forgotten god. hence no manner of economic or political readjustment can possibly save our civilization; we can be saved only by a renovation of the inner man, only by a purging of our hearts and souls; for only by seeking first the kingdom of god and his justice will all these other things be added unto us.

Seeing the moon, he becomes the moon, the moon seen by him becomes him. he sinks into nature, becomes one with nature. the light of the "clear heart" of the priest, seated in the meditation hall in the darkness before the dawn, becomes for the dawn moon its own light.

It took a long time, but my heart now feels full when i think of him. when you fall in love again—which i have—it's funny the other things that come back in with that open-ness. you have this ghost chorus of the lovers who came before, but they're benign now, they're good spirits.

There are many ways up the mountain and each of us must choose a practice that feels true to our heart.

The men who were well enough to stand had moved across the carriage to cheer the italians as they went past. a crutch waved out of the window; bandaged forearms made the red salute. it was like an allegorical picture of war; the trainload of fresh men gliding proudly up the line, the maimed men sliding slowly down, and all the while the guns on the open trucks making one's heart leap as guns always do, and reviving that pernicious feeling, so difficult to get rid of, that war *is* glorious after all.
