“The deeper we look, the more we shall be convinced that the one thing wanting, which we must strive to acquire before all others, is strength strength physical, strength mental, strength moral, but above all strength spiritual which is the one inexhaustible and imperishable source of all the others. If we have strength everything else will be added to us easily and naturally.” IfsLooksSpiritualMoralOne ThingSourceStriveDeeperConvincedAcquireMental StrengthHaving StrengthPhysical Strength Book:Bulletin Source: Bulletin
“I came to the conclusion that war was an unacceptable way of solving whatever problems there were in the world--that there would be problems of tyranny, of injustice, of nations crossing frontiers and that injustice and tyranny should not be tolerated and should be fought and resisted, but the one thing that must not be used to solve that problem is war. Because war is inevitably the indiscriminate killing of large numbers of people. And that fact overwhelms whatever moral cause is somewhere buried in the history of that war.” PeopleWorldWayShouldWarFactsProblemWould BeUsedNationsCausesNumbersMoralOne ThingKillingInjusticeSolveTyrannyConclusionBuriedFrontiersCrossingsLarge Numbers Book:Howard Zinn Speaks: Collected Speeches 1963-2009 Source: Howard Zinn Speaks: Collected Speeches 1963-2009

“In spite of their obvious differences, folk art and popular art have much in common; they are easy to understand, they are romantic, patriotic, conventionally moral, and they are held in deep affection by those who are suspicious of the great arts. Popular artists can be serious, like Frederick Remington, or trivial, like Charles Dana Gibson; they can be men of genius like Chaplin or men of talent like Harold Lloyd; they can be as uni versal as Dickens or as parochial as E.P. Roe; one thing common to all of them is the power to communicate directly with everyone.” MenArtArtistCultureEasyDifferencesCommonMoralOne ThingTalentSeriousGeniusFolksAffectionObviousCommunicateSpitePatrioticGreat ArtBe A ManSuspiciousPopular CultureDickensChaplinFolk ArtRemingtonDeep Affection Author:Gilbert Seldes
