More From Upton Sinclair

You have to have hope. it's irresponsible to give false hope, which i think a lot of playwrights are guilty of. but i also think it's irresponsible to simply be a nihilist, which quite a lot of playwrights, especially playwrights younger than me, have become guilty of.
Thinking Giving Guilty
Yes, i am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. sad, sad, sad.

Not every legend is a myth, some are flesh and blood. some legends walk among us, but they aren’t born, they’re built. legends are made from iron & sweat, mind and muscle, blood and vision and victory. legends are champions, they grow, they win, they conquer. there’s a legend behind every legacy, there’s a blueprint behind every legend.

Grief is real because loss is real. each grief has its own imprint, as distinctive and as unique as the person we lost. the pain of loss is so intense, so heartbreaking, because in loving we deeply connect with another human being, and grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. we think we want to avoid the grief, but really it is the pain of the loss we want to avoid. grief is the healing process that ultimately brings us comfort in our pain. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.

I still believe that standing up for the truth of god is the greatest thing in the world. this is the end (purpose) of life. the end of life is not to be happy. the end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. the end of life is to do the will of god, come what may.
