“You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization - including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility, and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain - without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.” PeopleResponsibilityColorCivilizationStandardsConsequenceIncludingCleverRequirementsPersonal ResponsibilityDisdainBasic Things Author:Thomas Sowell
“I didn't like what was on TV in terms of sitcomsit had nothing to do with the color of themI just didn't like any of them. I saw little kids, let's say 6 or 7 years old, white kids, black kids. And the way they were addressing the father or the mother, the writers had turned things around, so the little children were smarter than the parent or the caregiver. They were just not funny to me. I felt that it was manipulative and the audience was looking at something that had no responsibility to the family.” WayYearsChildrenLittlesKidsMotherFatherFeltParentBlackTermWhiteResponsibilityAudienceSawsColorTvsSmarterLittle KidSitcomManipulativeCaregivers Author:Bill Cosby
“And then God gave me insight: this was winter. It would end, in time, but not by my own doing. My responsibility was simply to know the season, and match my actions and inactions to it. It was to learn the slow hard discipline of waiting. It was my season to believe in spite of-to believe in the absence of evidence or emotion, when there's nothing, no bud, no color, no light, no birdsong, to validate belief. It was my time to walk without sight.” KnowsBelieveEndsHardLightActionBeliefWaitingMy OwnWalksEmotionResponsibilityColorDisciplineEvidenceSeasonsSightWinterInsightAbsenceMy TimeSpiteInactionBudBirdsong Author:Mark Buchanan
“I did a good bit of episodic television directing, but directing a movie is so much more complicated. And there's so much more responsibility because the medium is very much a director's medium. Television is much more of a producer's writer's medium so a lot of the time when you're directing a television show they have a color palette on set or a visual style and dynamic that's already been predetermined and you just kind of have to follow the rules.” KindShowsBitsResponsibilityStyleTelevisionColorDirectorsComplicatedMediumsProducersVisualsTelevision ShowsPalettePredetermined Author:Jason Bateman
“As a great democratic society, we have a special responsibility to the arts. For art is the great democrat, calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth or color. What freedom alone can bring is the liberation of the human mind and a spirit which finds its greatest flowering in the free society. I see of little more importance to the future of our country and our civilization than the full recognition of the place of the artist.” MindHumansLittlesArtCountrySpiritArtistWealthRaceResponsibilityMusicCreativeSpecialColorGeniusCallingCivilizationArt IsImportanceDemocraticDemocratOur CountryRecognitionLiberationHuman MindFree SocietyDemocratic SocietyFloweringCreative Genius Author:John F.

“The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be received in some other quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party.

“We have entered an Orwellian era in which entitlement replaces responsibility, coercion is described as compassion, compulsory redistribution is called sharing, race quotas substitute for diversity, and suicide is prescribed as 'death with dignity.' Political discourse has become completely corrupted. The reason is that if you tell people directly that you want to raise their taxes, transfer their wealth, count them by skin color, or let doctors kill them, most will object. Statists know this and therefore are obliged to obfuscate.” PeopleIfsKnowsWantReasonPoliticalPoliticsWealthRaceResponsibilityCompassionObjectsColorTaxesDiversityDignityDoctorsSkinsRaisesSuicideErasSubstitutesDiscourseObligedCoercionEntitlementTransfersCompulsorySkin ColorQuotaOrwellianPolitical DiscourseDeath With Dignity Author:Theodore J.
