But now Nixon has come along and everything I've worked for is ruined. There's a story in the paper every day about him slashing a...nother one of my Great Society programs. I can just see him waking up in the morning, making that victory sign of his and deciding which program to kill. It's a terrible thing for me to sit by and watch someone else starve my Great Society to death. She's getting thinner and thinner and uglier and uglier all the time; now her bones are beginning to stick out and her wrinkles are beginning to show. Soon she'll be so ugly that the American people will refuse to look at her; they'll stick her in a closet to hide her away and there she'll die. And when she dies, I, too, will die.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In pursuit of an educational program to suit the bright and the not so bright, we have watered down a rigid training for the elite... until we now have an educational diet in many of our public high schools that nourishes neither the classes nor the masses.... We must evolve an adjustable curriculum which does not sacrifice the superior student to the drones at a period in our history when we need highly trained people in ever increasing numbers to solve the vast and complex problems which destiny has placed upon our shoulders.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
... there is a dangerous trend observable in some quarters of the Movement to program Sapphire out of her "evil" ways into a cover...-up, shut-up, lay-back-and-be-cool obedience role. She is being assigned an unreal role of mute servant that supposedly neutralizes the acidic tension that exists between Black men and Black women. She is being encouraged--in the name of revolution no less--to cultivate "virtues" that if listed would sound like the personality traits of slaves.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I wonder what subtle form of manslaughter is next on the program. Am I to be dropped into a vat of molten steel and become part of... a new skyscraper, or are you going to ask this female to kiss me again and poison me to death?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Any reductionist program has to be based on an analysis of what is to be reduced. If the analysis leaves something out, the proble...m will be falsely posed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

...when we are going through the aftereffects of a bad jolt in loss of money or pride--and both are closely connected--we should g...et off to ourselves, make an honest appraisal of our shortcomings, and try to find our weak spots and bolster them up before starting in again. First on the program we should figure out a plan to eat. The money we have lost is a small matter; if we can keep our pride and strong faith in ourselves the battle ahead is half won before we start.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
One can imagine a computer simulation of the action of peptides in the hypothalamus that is accurate down to the last synapse. But... equally one can imagine a computer simulation of the oxidation of hydrocarbons in a car engine or the action of digestive processes in a stomach when it is digesting pizza. And the simulation is no more the real thing in the case of the brain than it is in the case of the car or the stomach. Barring miracles, you could not run your car by doing a computer simulation of the oxidation of gasoline, and you could not digest pizza by running the program that simulates such digestion. It seems obvious that a simulation of cognition will similarly not produce the effects of the neurobiology of cognition.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He [Roosevelt] has made some speeches that indicate that he is going quite beyond anything that he advocated when he was in the Wh...ite House, and has proposed a program which is absolutely impossible to carry out except by a revision of the Constitution.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
