Quote by Richard Milhous Nixon

“Ce qui menace le monde, ce n'est pas le "communisme" théorique ni le "marxisme" philosophique, mais plutôt une force totalitaire agressive, expansionniste, qui a adopté ces mots pour désigner une ferveur idéologique qu'elle a greffée sur les racines de l'expansionnisme et du despotisme tsaristes.”

“In 1947 is de Koude Oorlog in volle gang en krijgt die veel aandacht van de internationale publieke opinie. Op de vraag of hij niet vreest dat het communistische gedachtegoed aan populariteit wint ten gevolge van de steun aan de onafhankelijkheidsaspiraties van de Arabieren, antwoordt Abdelkrim: Wij zijn grotendeels moslims, wat betekent dat we in de Koran een filosofie en religie vinden die ons volledig bevredigt. We hebben dus geen behoefte aan een verdachte doctrine die vanuit het buitenland komt en in strijd is met onze mentaliteit.”

“The effect of that was startling. Tears came into his son’s eyes. Silently, the young man shook his hand. Afterward—after the interview was over— Marin thought, What kind of future will we have, with an entire generation of over-emotional young people just now coming of age? He visualized future groups filled with adults who had been virtually fatherless in their childhood and youth—tearful people by the million influencing the pattern of group law on the basis of their own inner need for the missing male parent. Was that a true picture? he wondered. If it were, it did not augur well for the future of the land. While he waited for take-off time, he found himself uneasy and unhappy. The fact was he didn’t know what had been happening during his absence. They would unquestionably have turned on the pain circuit, the moment they discovered the connection between Trask and Group 814. The area covered would gradually be extended; better get drugs he could take when the rocket ship landed. He’d stand the pain until his arrival. He didn’t wish to appear doped before the officers who would meet him. As it turned out, the ship was already past the apex of its climb when, abruptly, he felt the stab of pain through his shoulder. As he silently fought the agony, one thing was clear to Marin: the crisis had arrived.”

“Before the ubiquity of the traditional schooling system, it was the families that fulfilled this role. The nuclear family and single parents that stay in smaller households was the exception rather than the norm. Family members tended to stay together in one area. This meant in one homestead there were grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts and so on. This in turn created a strong supportive environment”

“This idea—that what parents need or want will play a role in choices—can be hard to admit. In a sense, I think this is at the core of a lot of the “Mommy War” conflicts. We all want to be good parents. We want our choices to be the right ones. So, after we make the choices, there is a temptation to decide they are the perfect ones. Psychology has a name for this: avoiding cognitive dissonance. If I choose not to breastfeed, I don’t want to acknowledge that there are even small possible benefits to breastfeeding. So I encamp myself in the position that breastfeeding is a waste of time. On the other side, if I spend two years taking my boobs out every three hours, I need to believe that this is what it takes to deliver a life of continued successes to my child. This is a deeply human temptation, but it is also really counterproductive. Your choices can be right for you but also not necessarily the best choices for other people. Why? You are not other people. Your circumstances differ. Your preferences differ. In the language of economics, your constraints differ.”
