If i hit you and you hit me and i hit you back and you hit me back and go on, you see, that goes on ad infinitum. it just never ends. somewhere somebody must have a little sense, and that's the strong person.

Strong Goes On Littles

More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.

Somewhere somebody must have some sense. men must see that force begets force, hate begets hate, toughness begets toughness. and it is all a descending spiral, ultimately ending in destruction for all and everybody. somebody must have sense enough and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate and the chain of evil in the universe. and you do that by love.

Bless that which you want. if you see a person with a beautiful home, bless that person and bless that home. if you see a person with a beautiful car, bless that person and bless that car. if you see a person with a loving family, bless that person and bless that family. if you see a person with a beautiful body, bless that person and bless their body.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

Maybe the realisation of the full human potential is the utopian thing. maybe that is our collective struggle, is to find a way to get there. but right now it seems like we're duplicating what was written in the bible, a millennium ago, which is "an eye for an eye." revenge policy; "if you hit me, we'll hit you back worse"; ad infinitum.

Similar Quotes

A wicked mortal is not the idea of god. he is little else than the expression of error. to suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. life and life's idea, truth and truth's idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.

Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.

I was indeed a snob, if you agree with this definition: 'a person who believes that their tastes in a particular area are superior to those of other people.' i do believe that. not superior to all other people, but to some, most probably including those who think transformers: revenge of the fallen is a great film. that is not simply ego on my part. it is a faith that after writing and teaching about films for more than 40 years, my tastes are more evolved than those of a fanboy.

The nephew revenges himself for this, by holding his breath and terrifying his kinswoman with the dread belief that he has made up his mind to burst. regardless of whispers and shakes, he swells and becomes discoloured, and yet again swells and becomes discoloured, until the aunt can bear it no longer, but leads him out, with no visible neck, and with his eyes going before him like a prawn's.
