“A good argument diluted to avoid criticism is not nearly as good as the undiluted argument, because we best arrive at truth through a process of honest and vigorous debate. Arguments should not sneak around in disguise, as if dissent were somehow sinister... For it is bravery that is required to secure freedom.” IfsShouldTruthProcessBlackJusticeCourageHonestSpeechArgumentCriticismBraveryDebateSecureDisguiseDissentVigorousSneakSinister Author:Clarence Thomas
“I suppose as long as novels last, and authors aim at interesting their public, there must always be in the story a virtuous and gallant hero; a wicked monster, his opposite; and a pretty girl, who finds a champion. Bravery and virtue conquer beauty; and vice, after seeming to triumph through a certain number of pages, is sure to be discomfited in the last volume, when justice overtakes him, and honest folks come by their own.” LongStoriesLastsCertainGirlJusticeInterestingNumbersNovelVirtueHonestHeroPagesOppositesBraveryAimFolksVicesMonstersConquerTriumphChampionWickedVirtuousVolumeSeemingPretty GirlGallant Book:The four Georges.

“Forget what you learned about poetry in school. (That it's complex, opaque, a problem to be solved in 1500 words by tomorrow.) Poetry is the last preserve of honest speech and the outspoken heart. It holds the cadence of common life. It has a passion for truth and justice and liberty; it is a buoy to people in ordinary trouble: to a friend whose life has gone skidding into the meridian, who has been struck by bad news, who is frying eggs and hash browns and has whiny child clinging to his pant leg.” PeopleHeartChildrenHas BeensProblemSchoolLastsPassionJusticeForgetCommonLibertyGoneTroubleHonestTomorrowSpeechNewsOrdinaryComplexesLegsPreservesEggsPoetry IsClingingBad NewsOutspokenCadenceOpaqueFryingTruth And JusticeCommon LifeHashBuoys Author:Garrison Keillor
“To be honest, I would have to say that there was a certain burden in working with Arnold, a big action star. I am aware that Arnold is loved by the American audience, but rather than focusing on working with Arnold, what I focused on was expressing the character, Sheriff Owens, through Arnold the actor and knowing that Arnold and my idea about Sheriff Owens coincided and that it was about Owens protecting a certain value and justice, I focused more on that aspect that helped me to be more comfortable in working with Arnold.” IdeasCharacterBigsActionCertainValuesActorsStarsJusticeAudienceKnowingHonestComfortableAspectBurdenFocusedBeing HonestSheriffs Author:Kim Jee-woon
