More From June Jordan

I work in hebrew. hebrew is deeply inspired by other languages. not now, for the last three thousand years, hebrew has been penetrated and fertilized by ancient semitic languages - by aramaic, by greek, by latin, by arabic, by yiddish, by latino, by german, by russian, by english, i could go on and on. it's very much like english. the english language took in many many fertilizations, many many genes, from other languages, from foreign languages - latin, french, nordic languages, german, scandinavian languages. every language has influences and is an influence.

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

Earlier this week ... scientists announced the completion of a task that once seemed unimaginable; and that is, the deciphering of the entire dna sequence of the human genetic code. this amazing accomplishment is likely to affect the 21st century as profoundly as the invention of the computer or the splitting of the atom affected the 20th century. i believe that the 21st century will be the century of life sciences, and nothing makes that point more clearly than this momentous discovery. it will revolutionize medicine as we know it today.

The 21st century looks different. it's been very disruptive. it has created a lot of insecurity. we have to adjust to that, because the 21st century has real promise. now, the higher-paying jobs of this new century are fantastic. the problem is, you have to have some level of higher education, maybe not a four-year degree, but some level of higher education, to get those jobs.

Leadership is the great challenge of the 21st century in science, politics, education, and industry. but the greatest challenge in leadership is parenting. we need to do more than just get our enterprises ready for the challenges of the twenty-first century. we also need to get our children ready for the challenges of the 21st century.

We stand against fate, as children stand up against the wall in their father's house, and notch their height from year to year. but when the boy grows to a man, and is master of the house, he pulls down that wall and builds it new and bigger.

This is a precious possession which we cannot afford to tarnish, but society always is attempting to make the physician into a killer to kill the defective child at birth, to leave the sleeping pills beside the bed of the cancer patient ... it is the duty of society to protect the physicians from such requests.

I sat staring up at a shelf in my workroom from which thirty-one books identically dressed in neat dark green leather stared back at me with a sort of cold hostility like children who resent their parents. don't stare at us like that! they said. don't blame us if we didn't turn out to be the perfection you expected. we didn't ask to be brought into the world.

My dad kept me away from people who treat children wrong. it's just amazing that there is such a way to raise a person without giving them complexes. but nobody does it. they think it should be the old school. but look at the products. wouldn't it be great if you could avoid the complexes? then you could deal with the complexes of life.
