Summary

This quote suggests that when we harbor intense feelings of hatred and allow them to manifest violently, it not only keeps us trapped in a negative mindset but also lowers our moral standing even below those we hate. By succumbing to hatred and resorting to violent actions, we degrade ourselves and stray further from compassion and empathy. It serves as a reminder that hatred only leads to a self-destructive path and by rising above it, we can avoid sinking to the level of those we despise.

The public school system: Usually a twelve year sentence of mind control. Crushing creativity, smashing individualism, encouraging collectivism and compromise, destroying the exercise of intellectual inquiry, twisting it instead into meek subservience to authority.

Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.

I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good

I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.
