When I sell liquor, it's called bootlegging; when my patrons serve it on Lake Shore Drive, it's called hospitality. ↗

I'm interested in the dream and subconscious mind, the peculiar dream-like quality of our lives, sometime nightmare quality of our lives. ↗

I simply cannot see how denying chemotherapy treatment for Palestinian children increases Israel's security or advances U.S. national interests. ↗

The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. ↗

Mr. Speaker, less than 10 percent of our Nation's children walk or ride their bicycles to school, and too many schools continue to invite fast-food vendors into their cafeterias. ↗

It is about time that we develop a worldwide strategy to reduce illegal trade in meth and its precursor chemicals and stop the devastating impact that methamphetamine use is having on our children and our communities. ↗

إن كلا منا يعرف في بداية حياته ما هي أسطورته الذاتية التي ينبغي أن يحققها. ولكن قوى غامضة تحاول أن تصرفك عن تحقيق تلك الأسطورة. تضع أمامك كل أنواع العقبات. ولكنك عندما تريد شيئا بحق فإن رغبتك الحقيقية تصبح جزءا من روح العالم الذي أنت جزءا منه. وروح العالم تتغذى من سعادة البشر. إلا أنها أيضا تتغذى من الشقاء والحسد والغيرة حين ينكص الإنسان عن إنجاز أسطورته. ويتراجع عنها. إن تحقيق الذات هو الالتزام الوحيد للإنسان على الأرض. حين يسعى إليه يندرج هو أيضا في تلك الروح الشاملة. ويتآمر العالم كله معه لكي يحقق له رغبته. ما دام قد أوتي الشجاعة لقهر القوى الغامضة التي تريد أن تشل قدرته على الفعل. ↗

As summer neared, as the evening lengthened there came to the wakeful, the hopeful, walking the beach, stirring the pool, imaginations of the strangest kind- of flesh turned to atoms which drove before the wind, of stars flashing in their hearts, of outwardly the scattered parts of the vision within. In those mirrors, the minds of men, in those pools of uneasy water, in which cloud forever and shadows form, dreams persisted; and it was impossible to resist the strange intimation which every gull, flower, tree, man and woman, and the white earth itself seemed to declare (but if you questioned at once to withdraw) that good triumph, happiness prevails, order rules, or to resist the extra ordinary stimulus to range hither and thither in search of some absolute good, some crystal of intensity remote from the known pleasures and familiar virtues, something alien to the processes of domestic life, single, hard, bright, like a diamond in the sand which would render the possessor secure. Moreover softened and acquiescent, the spring with their bees humming and gnats dancing threw her cloud about her, veiled her eyes, averted her head, and among passing shadows and fights of small rain seemed to have taken upon her knowledge of the sorrows of mankind. ↗

I want to write stories that are different from the ones I've written so far, Junpei thought: I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love. But right now I have to stay here and keep watch over this woman and this girl. I will never let anyone-not anyone-try to put them into that crazy box- not even if the sky should fall or the earth crack open with a roar. ↗

When it comes to the education of our young, this privilege should only be given to those whose visions are solely in the uplifting benefit of the child. There is no room for the ego in the education of children! Children should not be looked after, nor educated, by those who have not made a sacrifice within their hearts, laying down their own personal agenda and dreams, for the total ascension of the child. Even if you are to educate the children simply sitting under a tree; if you have the vision and the heart of a sage, those children will grow to be mighty men and women under your watch! And even if you wine and dine the children, putting them up in a palace; if you do not have the vision and the selfless heart of a sage, all you do is in utter vanity! ↗
