“The self-esteem of western women is founded on physical being (body mass index, youth, beauty). This creates a tricky emphasis on image, but the internalized locus of self-worth saves lives. Western men are very different. In externalizing the source of their self-esteem, they surrender all emotional independence. (Conquest requires two parties, after all.) A man cannot feel like a man without a partner, corporation, team. Manhood is a game played on the terrain of opposites. It thus follows that male sense of self disintegrates when the Other is absent.” MenFeelsTwoDifferentSelfBodyGamesPartyTeamSelf EsteemYouthEmotionalSourceMassOppositesIndependenceWesternMalesPartnersSurrenderSelf WorthEsteemCorporationsManhoodEmphasisConquestAbsentTrickySense Of SelfTerrainSave A Life Book:The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide Source: The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide

“Far from affording artists continuous inspiration, mass-media sources for art have become a dead end. They have combined with the abstractness of institutional art teaching to produce a fine-arts culture given over to information and not experience.

“Nixon was the one force in Montgomery for a number of years that made any effort in the direction of challenging the power structure. Ed Nixon's source of direction for that comes out of his relationship with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Care Porters and the Randolph philosophy of mass action. So, Ed Nixon really was the force that conceived of the boycott and drew up the original papers for the boycott.” YearsMadePhilosophyCareActionForceChallengesSleepNumbersEffortSourcePaperMassOriginalsStructureBrotherhoodPapersBoycottMontgomery Author:Ella Baker
