There’s no use saying anything in the schoolyard because there’s always someone with an answer and there’s nothing you can do but punch them in the nose and if you were to punch everyone who has an answer you’d be punching morning noon and night.

More From Frank McCourt

Before i studied the art, a punch to me was just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. after i learned the art, a punch was no longer a punch, a kick no longer a kick. now that i've understood the art, a punch is just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. the height of cultivation is really nothing special. it is merely simplicity; the ability to express the utmost with the minimum.

There is a little bit of that schoolyard attitude of, it's one thing for a guy your own size to mouth off to you, but if there's a little guy, you should just smack him around. and it's probably bad advice in the schoolyard. it's certainly not a good way to run a foreign policy because even when you are dealing with a non-peer, militarily, war is complicated.

The good thing about england - like, if i were in france, all people would be doing is rubbing my nose in donald trump. as if i voted for him. just rubbing my nose in him. and in england, they'd be rubbing my nose in it too, except for brexit. so that means they can't rub my nose in anything!

Someone real," i hear myself saying. "someone who never has to pretend, and who i never have to pretend around. someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because he understands music can be too big for words. someone who knows me better than i know myself. someone i want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. someone i feel like i've known my whole life, even if i haven't.

The reality of living by faith as though we were already dead, of living by faith in open communion with god, and then stepping back into the external world as though we are already raised from the dead, this is not once for all, it is a matter of moment-by-moment faith, and living moment by moment. this morning's faith will never do for this noon. the faith of this noon will never do for suppertime . the faith of suppertime will never do for the next morning. thank god for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with god himself.

You punch me, i punch back. i do not believe it's good for one's self-respect to be a punching bag.

Mine honour is my life; both grow in one; take honour from me, and my life is done.

To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. to lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.

Seriously, i do not think i am fit for the presidency.

I feel that we're dividing along class lines for the first time in our history. now one thing that has happened in this reaction to globalization is that the elites are not respectful of the values of those who are ordinary citizens, so we seem to be dividing ourselves into ever-smaller identity groups, each with its own narrative, each with its own grievance, and that's a problem.
