“A composition which dazzles at first sight by gaudy epithets, or brilliant turns or expression, or glittering trains of imagery, may fade gradually from the mind, leaving no enduring impression; but words which flow fresh and warm from a full heart, and which are instinct with the life and breath of human feeling, pass into household memories, and partake of the immortality of the affections from which they spring.” MindFirstsHumansHeartMayFeelingsTurnsMemoriesStyleExpressionSpringFlowSightBreathsTrainInstinctEndureLeavingAffectionWarmBrilliantImpressionImmortalityFadesHouseholdCompositionImageryDazzleGaudyEpithetFull Hearts Book:Essays and Reviews Source: Essays and Reviews
“One reason why my memory decays is that I have three cats, all so loving and insistent that they play cat's-cradle with every train of thought.

Here was a movie based on the central theme that racism is something that is taught, and it's illustrated by this story of a dog and the efforts of humans to re-train it after it had been trained to go after black people.
