#con

If you confine it, you're confining a whole thing. If you make it spontaneous, so that anything can happen, like we don't want to confine or restrict anything. What we can do, whatever we can let happen, you just let it happen. ↗

A guidance counselor who has made a fetish of security, or who has unwittingly surrendered his thinking to economic determinism, may steer a youth away from his dream of becoming a poet, an artist, a musician or any other of thousands of things, because it offers no security, it does not pay well, there are no vacancies, it has no "future". ↗

The original judgment of the FBI, the Secret Service, and the CIA was that there were three shots. I don't think that convinced us except as a statement by people, many of them who were familiar with ballistics. This question troubled me greatly. ↗

Well, my wife and I were married in a toilet - it was a marriage of convenience! ↗

Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song. ↗

War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves. ↗
