I don't see anything wrong with a neighborhood association wanting to keep their neighborhood a certain way or their apartment complex a certain way. i don't see anything wrong with white kids wanting to go to school with white children, or black kids wanting to go to school with black kids.

If i have one message to give to the secular american people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. the world is not divided between east and west. you are american, i am iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. the difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. and the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. and our governments are very much the same.

Children grow rapidly, forget the centuries-long embrace from their parents, which to them lasted but seconds. children become adults, live far from their parents, live their own houses, learn ways of their own, suffer pain, grow old. children curse their parents for their wrinkled skin and hoarse voices. those now old children also want to stop time, but at another time. they want to freeze their own children at the center of time.

Safety lies in catering to the in-group. we are not all brave. all i would ask of writers who find it hard to question the universal validity of their personal opinions and affiliations is that they consider this: every group we belong to - by gender, sex, race, religion, age - is an in-group, surrounded by an immense out-group, living next door and all over the world, who will be alive as far into the future as humanity has a future. that out-group is called other people. it is for them that we write.

I get a lot of parents coming up to me, telling me they are grooming their kids to be professional athletes. i'm really against that. i think it's a great life, and yeah, you can lead them in that direction. i think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. because they didn't make it, they want their kids to make it. it puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

You can wish as hard as you like but all that really matters is the shape you're in on the day of the race. i've always felt these really big races aren't necessarily won by whoever is the fastest. they're won by the athlete who is the smartest and in the best shape on the day.

Definitely if you're an athlete, you're gonna be having all the baseball fame you can have. that's the great thing about baseball and sports. you can measure ability.

No one will burn out doing aerobic running. it is too much anaerobic running, which the american scholastic athletic system tends to put young athletes through, that burns them out.
