More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--for he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! in contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the evil one," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!

If americans wish to preserve a country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. public education is the enemy. the entertainment industry is the enemy. the corporate culture is the enemy. the advertising industry is the enemy. and most of the politicians in both parties are the enemy. an enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of americans.

The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. it is essential to attain this. if you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him.

The naive which is simultaneously beautiful, poetic, and idealistic, must be both intention and instinct. the essence of intention, in this sense, is freedom. consciousness is far from intention. there is a certain enamoured contemplation of one's own naturalness or silliness which itself is unspeakably silly. intention does not necessarily require a profound calculation or plan.

Music, to me, is the most beautiful form, and i love film because film is very related to music. it moves by you in its own rhythm. it's not like reading a book or looking at a painting. it gives you its own time frame, like music, so they are very connected for me. but music to me is the biggest inspiration. when i get depressed, or anything, i go "think of all the music i haven't even heard yet!" so, it's the one thing. imagine the world without music. man, just hand me a gun, will you?

The butterfly lures us not only because he is beautiful, but because he is transitory. the caterpillar is uglier, but in him we can regard the better joy of becoming.

Sometimes i look at where we've come to, and how much technology and advancement there is, and i can't believe that we're not this perfectly balanced, beautiful, peaceful society. i'm shocked that we're so deeply polarized, that there are people who want progress and they feel guilty for wanting progress, because it somehow seems un-american, because being american means staying ignorant and going backward.
