Writing is for men who can think and feel, not mindless sensation seekers out of nightclubs and bars. But these are bad times. We are condemned to work with upstarts, clowns who no doubt got their training in a circus and then turned to journalism as the appropriate place to display their tricks. ↗

Washington was concerned that the soldiers coming to him from Massachusetts were too few and of too low quality. He was disappointed that the majority of the Massachusetts volunteers appeared to be thrill-seeking teenagers, British Army deserters and otherwise unemployed African Americans. Washington doubted that these volunteers would ever be able to stand up to the British. Much to Washington's surprise, the free black men soon proved to be exemplary soldiers. ↗

History, of course, makes a president big news and the assassination of one more so. However, I see men assassinated around me every day. I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead: men without eyes, men without voices; men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions; men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideals. Kennedy himself was 9/10ths the way around the clock or he wouldn't have accepted such an enervating and enfeebling job--meaning President of the United States of America. How can I be over concerned with the murder of one man when almost all men, plus females, are taken from cribs as babies and almost immediately thrown into the masher? ↗

Jeg følte mig fordømt og fortabt på forhånd, og jeg blev ond overfor psykologen. Jeg følte ikke, at det var konstruktivt. Hun skulle bare fortælle mig, hvor langt ude jeg var, og hvor forkert det var, alt det, jeg lavede. Hun kom med sådan nogle mærkelige psykologbilleder med farver, som man skulle fortolke. Hvad er det? Hvad ser du her? Hvad betyder det her? Det var, som om hun var ude på at gøre mig dummere. jeg blev stiktosset, for jeg var meget bevidst om, hvilken lortesituation jeg og mor og mine søskende var i. Den psykolog var den sidste, der skulle gøre mig dummere eller mindre værdig, end verden havde gjort mig, så midt i det hele hamrede jeg mine hænder ned i bordet og råbte: 'Nu stopper det.' Psykologen tabte besindelsen. 'Du bliver morder ligesom din far,' råbte hun. ↗

Uden gruppen har du ingen status, for alle andre i verden er imod dig. Jeg kan ikke give mine brødre rigdom, jeg kan ikke give dem guld, men jeg kan give dem mit ord, og hvis mit ord ikke længere tæller, så er jeg intet. ↗
