If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.

I would distinguish between a visitor and a pilgrim: both will come to a place and go away again, but a visitor arrives, a pilgrim is restored. a visitor passes through a place; the place passes through the pilgrim.

All that serves labor serves the nation. all ^ that harms labor is treason to america. no line can be drawn between these two. if any man tells you he loves america, yet hates labor, he is a liar. if any man tells you he trusts america, yet fears labor, he is a fool. there is no america without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.

I like the idea of taking what is essentially a boring, officious job and turning it into something that is a fantasy, to a degree. i suppose there is a juxtaposition involved in that because you do have to be a civil servant but you're doing a tremendously exciting job, or potentially an exciting job, or a glamourous job.

Is there an idea more radical in the history of the human race than turning your children over to total strangers whom you know nothing about, and having those strangers work on your child's mind, out of your sight, for a period of twelve years? could there be a more radical idea than that? back in colonial days in america, if you proposed that kind of idea, they'd burn you at the stake, you mad person! it's a mad idea!

I think young children in the western middle classes are objects of incredible anxiety.
Children Thinking Class
It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. something that will stretch their imaginations- something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.

I think at some stage, i would love to have another child. i would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. i actually am not good at the balance at that.
