“A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on.”
- Carl Sandburg (1878 – 1967), American poet: “Remembrance Rock”, 1948.
“The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can’t make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.”
- Theodore Kascynski (b. 1942), American radical known as the Unabomber: ‘Sources of Social Problems’ from “Industrial Society and Its Future”, published in the “Washington Post”, September 19, 1995.
“The Oscars demonstrate the will of the people to control and judge those they have elected to stand above them (much, perhaps, as in bygone days an election celebrated the same).
- David Mamet (b. 1947), American playwright: ‘Oscars’ in “Writing in Restaurants”, 1986.
