Quote by John Kerry

We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or truth or what's happening.

Summary

This quote suggests that the electorate, or the group of people eligible to vote, is often not fully engaged or well-informed about political affairs. Instead of being guided by facts, truth, or an understanding of current events, people are easily swayed by simplistic slogans or catchy soundbites. It implies that a lack of attentiveness and critical thinking among the electorate can lead to the influence of empty rhetoric rather than a focused consideration of substantial information when making political decisions.

There are only two choices: A police state in which all diss

There are only two choices: A police state in which all dissent is suppressed or rigidly controlled; or a society where law is responsive to human needs. If society is to be responsive to human needs, a vast restructuring of our laws is essential. Realization of this need means adults must awaken to the urgency of the young peoples unrestin other words there must be created an adult unrest against the inequities and injustices in the present system. If the government is in jeopardy, it is not because we are unable to cope with revolutionary situations. Jeopardy means that either the leaders or the people do not realize they have all the tools required to make the revolution come true. The tools and the opportunity exist. Only the moral imagination is missing.

William O. Douglas

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situatio

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer . . . For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conceptions only as cultural posits.

When I was little, I had this science book. There was a sect

When I was little, I had this science book. There was a section on 'What would happen to the world if there was no friction?' Answer: 'Everything on earth would fly into space from the centrifugal force of revolution.' That was my mood.

Most people aren't appreciated enough, and the bravest thing

Most people aren't appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn't take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
