“In today's world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither timenor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.” WorldWantChildrenTodayParentRolesActivityAdultsMercyFunctionRelationPressureGuidesPrioritiesMeaningfulCompanionParenthoodToday's World Book:2 Wrlds Childhood Source: 2 Wrlds Childhood
“A man in love ... is the master, so it seems, but only if his lady friend permits it! The need to interchange the roles of slave and master for the sake of the relationship is never more clearly demonstrated than in the course of an affair. Never is the complicity between victim and executioner more essential. Even chained, down on her knees, begging for mercy, it is the woman, finally, who is in command ... the all powerful slave, dragging herself along the ground at her master's heels, is now really the god. The man is only her priest, living in fear and trembling of her displeasure.” IfsMenNeedsSeemsCoursesWomenLove IsPowerfulRolesHe ManMastersEssentialsMercyVictimSlaveAffairSakeCommandKneesPriestsPermitHeelsBeggingTremblingChainedComplicityExecutionersDispleasureInterchangeLiving In Fear Author:Anne Desclos

“Creating my own roles, as an actor, is great. You're so at the mercy of other people, and you're waiting for a job.

“The "prophets" were what we would call dissident intellectuals. They provided critical geopolitical analysis, condemned the crimes of the powerful, called for justice and mercy for those who needed help, etc. I wouldn't personally endorse everything they said, any more than I would for critics of power and its crimes today. But rather generally I think they played an honorable role - and suffered accordingly.” ThinkingSaidHelpingTodayJusticePowerfulRolesCrimeNeededMercyCriticsCriticalAnalysisProphetEtcHonorableThey SaidDissidentsGeopoliticalJustice And MercyNeeded Help Author:Noam Chomsky
