Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.

Enid Bagnold

He has great tranquillity of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.

What do they care if their old baldheaded and crew-cut elders don't dig their caveman mops? They couldn't care less about the old, stiff-assed honkies who don't like their new dances: Frog, Monkey, Jerk, Swim, Watusi. All they know is that it feels good to swing to way-out body-rhythms instead of dragging across the dance floor like zombies to the dead beat of mind-smothered Mickey Mouse music.

Eldridge Cleaver
