“We're in a situation where the solutions that we have are not good enough. The way to improve anything is to have a discussion about its flaws.

“It seems to me that if one had kept silence up to now regarding religion, people would still be submerged in the most grotesque and dangerous superstition ... regarding government, we would still be groaning under the bonds of feudal government ... regarding morals, we would still be having to learn what is virtue and what is vice.

“The relationship I have with my mother now, and photographing her in front of the grave, it opens up discussions, and dealings with the conversations with my mother about, when I was little, how we lived and about suicide and talking about it, so it's something positive, it brought us more together, because people might never discuss that. Some families never go near certain subjects because it's too hurtful or too close or too dangerous. But within doing these photographs, I also wanted to open up a conversation with her about certain things about life.” PeopleLittlesMightWantedTogetherMotherCertainTalkingSubjectsDangerousFrontsConversationSuicidePhotographGravesDiscussionHurtfulDealings Author:Jurgen Teller
“Going back to the discussion we were having about immigration reform, some of the most challenging discussions I've had are with activists who essentially would argue that any immigrant from Central America, let's say, who gets here to this country should be allowed to stay because their country is dangerous, their country is poor, and the opportunities for that mom and that kid are much greater here, and why would you send them back?” ShouldCountryKidsAmericaOpportunityChallengesPoorGreaterDangerousMomArguingImmigrationReformDiscussionImmigrantsActivistImmigration ReformCentral America Author:Barack Obama
