“The fact that somewhere in one of the foundational documents of this country, there is the statement that all men are created equal and the fact that social and political inequality has never been eradicated cannot be regarded as unrelated to the relative nonchalance with which Master Auld discusses the gap between his religious ideas and his day-to-day precepts.”

"He has learned a number of secrets which are nature’s secrets. But he hasn’t learned a great deal about himself, and that is probably what UNESCO is going to help us all to achieve; and, perhaps, one of the best ways will be in really making people understand why human rights and freedoms are one of the foundations on which we hope to build peace. Peace isn’t going to just drop on us all of a sudden."

“It is hard to find rational arguments to explain Max’s underlying stylistic tendencies toward black and white over color, blank pages over forms, and plasticity over hierarchal structures. Max isn’t about computer science but about computer music. Although many computer science results make their way into Max’s design, that design doesn’t bow to the computer science orthodoxy and its rigid dogma about software design and implementation.”

“Even today the ocean both divides and links the nations of mankind. In the past the fate of many peoples was shaped by the sea. The list of these peoples includes the Phoenicians, who are said to have been the first seamen to dare sail at night, guided by the North Star…”

“Among the problems with which we may be concerned are the pollution of the atmosphere, the pollution of water supplies, fluoridation of water and use of other public health measures, contamination of the earth with pesticides, with lead from leaded gasolines, misuse of chemicals as food additives, the location of nuclear power plants in thickly populated centers, the best use of scientific and medical knowledge to decrease the amount of human suffering caused by poverty and disease, and especially the prevention of the destruction of civilization by nuclear war.”

“34
Like the wind in the trees and the bells
Of the procession—
How light the air is
And the earth,
Children and the grass
In the wind and the voices of men and women
To be carried about the sun forever
Among the beautiful particulars of the breezes
The papers blow about the sidewalks”

“We went down into the basement apartment, a confusing number
of people, lying around on the bed. There’s a baby, neglected
who belongs to us; we are abandoning him; no we will feed
and take care of him; we will not have a huge head swollen-
looking aching with our ego, ourselves that cannot face
poetry’s night and day, its high fair hills where no prizes grow.
For we have to know how to make the new one. And if the earth
cracks with drought we’ll still have to. A strange wrinkled
ancestor hands us a nugget.”
