“Sometimes events that lead us bereft of anything but grief just happen for no reason other than happenstance--a car turns left instead of right, a train is missed, a call comes too late--and the real test of our humanness is whether, in light of that knowledge, we are ever able to recover. When we again find our way despite the inability to manufacture a deeper meaning in our suffering, that I think is when God smiles upon us, proud of the strength of his creation.” ThinkingWayRealSometimesReasonLightHappensAbleSufferingTurnsLeftGriefCarEventsCreationProudLateTestsTrainDeeperDespiteToo LateNo ReasonInabilityHumannessBereftHappenstanceDeeper MeaningHumanness Is Author:Neil Abramson

“How blind to believe the civil rights movement ever ended. The civil rights movement never ends, and it never will. It has been marching since the beginning of time. Where Martin Luther King started is where Gandhi left off, and where he started, Abe Lincoln left off, and before that Whitfield all the way back to Moses. God has not moved. We have. But it is never too late. We are not at the mercy of these events. We can alter the course of history. We can stand against the dangerous arc of this story.

“The Jews celebrate Passover by eating unpalatable food to remind them what will happen to their people if they ever leave New York City. The traditional meal often includes gefilte fish. For those of you who don't know what gefilte fish is, it strongly resembles a ball of tuna fish that has been passed nasally. It's not good. During Passover, the angel of death passed over the Jews - an event that, up until the late 1950s, was re-enacted every year by Ivy League colleges and suburban country clubs.” PeopleIfsKnowsYearsHas BeensCountryHappensCitiesEventsNew YorkCollegeLateEatingAngelBallsFishesJewClubsTraditionalCelebrateLeagueMealsNew York CityIvyTunaIvy LeagueCountry ClubsAngel Of DeathTuna Fish Author:Jon Stewart

“I feel like fashion was much more exclusive. There weren't as many parties. There weren't as many social gatherings. It wasn't required that designers have events to lure customers or editors or any of that - it was about a show. If there was a dinner or a party, people would go out after.
