Summary

This quote suggests that a consistent person tends to attribute events and outcomes to a predetermined destiny or fate. They believe that there is a master plan or a higher power guiding their life and the world around them. On the other hand, a capricious person, who is unpredictable and impulsive, is more likely to attribute occurrences to chance or random occurrences, as they don't find patterns or meaning in events. This quote highlights the different perspectives people may have regarding the nature of life and how they perceive the influence of external factors.

I remember being in Atlantic City once when I was 18 or 19, and a sea of people were screaming and pulling their hair because I was there. It was weird. Nobody deserves adulation like that. I tried to explain it to my kids once. I said, 'Mommy used to be kind of cool, kind of like a Britney Spears.'

I have three daughters, so I can't be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids - especially daughters - they know how to work you. They're a lot smarter than we are, that's for sure. But I'll be more tough on their boyfriends.

This means we must subject the machine technology to control

This means we must subject the machine technology to control and cease despoiling the earth and filling people with goodies merely to make money. The search of the young today is more specific than the ancient search for the Holy Grail. The search of the youth today is for ways and means to make the machine and the vast bureaucracy of the corporation state and of government that runs that machine the servant of man. That is the revolution that is coming. That revolution now that the people hold the residual powers of government need not be a repetition of 1776. It could be a revolution in the nature of an explosive political regeneration. It depends on how wise the Establishment is. If, with its stockpile of arms, it resolves to suppress the dissenters, America will face, I fear, an awful ordeal.
