“In the early days of my carer as an actor, I shared what was then the prevailing attitude of Negro performers :;that the content and form of a play or a film scenario was of little importance to us. What mattered was was the opportunity, which came so seldom to our folks ... Later I came to understand that the Negro artist could not view the matter simply in terms of of his individual interests, and that he had a responsibility to his people who rightfully resented the traditional stereotyped portrayals of Negros on stage and screen.” PeopleLittlesMatterPlayFilmFormArtistActorsOpportunityIndividualTermInterestViewsAttitudeResponsibilityStageImportanceFolksScreensTraditionalPerformersScenariosPrevailingPortrayal Author:Paul Robeson
“The flamingoes are the most delicately colored of all the African birds, pink and red like a flying twig of an oleander bush.

“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process - a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one.

“Sin is not only manifested in certain acts that are forbidden by divine command. Sin also appears in attitudes and dispositions and feelings. Lust and hate are sins as well as adultery and murder. And, in the traditional Christian view, despair and chronic boredom - unaccompanied by any vicious act - are serious sins. They are expressions of man's separation from God, as the ultimate good, meaning, and end of human existence.” MenHumansWellsEndsFeelingsChristianCertainHateSinViewsExistenceAttitudeDivineSeriousExpressionDespairUltimateMurderSeparationLustCommandTraditionalBoredomDispositionForbiddenViciousAdulteryHuman Existence Author:Mortimer Adler
“It is significant that the socialist mentality is usually also an atheistic mentality, where atheism is understood not so much as the disbelief in God as the hatred of God˜an attitude as precarious logically as it has been destructive in practice. There is an important sense in which religion as traditionally understood reconciles humanity to imperfection and to failure. Since the socialist sets out to abolish failure, traditional religion is worse than _de trop_: it is an impediment to perfection.” Has BeensImportantHumanityAttitudePracticeAtheismUnderstoodPerfectionHatredSignificantTraditionalDestructiveImperfectionMentalitySocialistDisbeliefReconcileAbolishAtheisticBelief In GodImpedimentsPrecarious Author:Roger Kimball
