“We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.” NeedsGovernmentJobsAmericaYoungChoicesLeftNationsWaitingCan DoPoorMoralVisionPovertyHatredSickBlowDisappearAbsenceVainIndifferenceSandBuriedApathyElderlyDissentMistrustMoral Leadership Book:Supreme Justice: Speeches and Writings Source: Supreme Justice: Speeches and Writings

“I really am a recluse. I just enjoy watching the wind blow through the trees. In America someone who sits around and does that is at the bottom of the ladder, but in Japan, say, someone who goes up into the mountains is accorded great respect. I guess I am somewhere in between. I enjoy reclusion: it clears my mind.” MindDoeAmericaEnjoyTreeWindMountainBottomBlowJapanLaddersGreat RespectRecluse Author:Robert M. Pirsig
