A dialogue is very important. it is a form of communication in which question and answer continue till a question is left without an answer. thus the question is suspended between the two persons involved in this answer and question. it is like a bud with untouched blossoms . . . if the question is left totally untouched by thought, it then has its own answer because the questioner and answerer, as persons, have disappeared. this is a form of dialogue in which investigation reaches a certain point of intensity and depth, which then has a quality that thought can never reach.

Do not ask the stones or the trees how to live, they can not tell you ; they do not have tongues; do not ask the wise man how to live for, if he knows , he will know he cannot tell you; if you would learn how to live , do not ask the question; its answer is not in the question but in the answer, which is not in words; do not ask how to live, but, instead, proceed to do so.

Some people ask who they are and expect their feelings to tell them. but feelings are flickering flames that fade after every fitful stimulus. some people ask who they are and expect their achievements to tell them. but the things we accomplish always leave a core of character unrevealed. some people ask who they are and expect visions of their ideal self to tell them. but our visions can only tell us what we want to be, not what we are

Any country is hard to govern, even a very small country. it's not a question of whether the country is large or small. it's a question of how you relate to the work, to what extent you feel responsible for it. russia is also hard to govern. russia is at the development stage of both its political system and the creation of a market-based economy. it's a complicated process, but very interesting. russia, actually, is not just a large country, it's a great country. i mean its traditions, and its cultural particularities.

And one day we must ask the question, "why are there forty million poor people in america?" and when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. when you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy.

We're like magic 8-balls. after you ask your question and shake the 8-ball, you read the answer in the little window. if you ever broke open a magic 8-ball with a hammer, you discovered that it contained a many-sided plastic object, with an answer on every facet, floating in a cylinder of murky blue fluid. the many-sided core held the answer to your question. my theory is that, as with our children, as with every surface of that geodesic dome inside the 8-ball, every age we've ever been is who we are.

Nothing in chomsky's account acknowledges the difference between intending to kill a child, because of the effect you hope to produce on its parents (we call this “terrorism”), and inadvertently killing a child in an attempt to capture or kill an avowed child murderer (we call this “collateral damage”). in both cases a child has died, and in both cases it is a tragedy. but the ethical status of the perpetrators, be they individuals or states, could not be more distinct for chomsky, intentions do not seem to matter. body count is all.

We should aim for our children to be good people, and to live ethical lives that manifest concern for others as well as for themselves.
