  2. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is also a compass that people use to find themselves on the map of human geography. History tells a people where they’ve been, where they are and what they are. Most importantly history tells a people where they still must go and what they still must be. The relationship of history to the people is the same as the relationship of a mother to her child.

  3. I hate feeling fake more than anything in the world. You wouldn’t believe what people tell you; “you’ve gotta get into college, you’ve gotta figure out what you wanna do, you’ve gotta make money” and we’re going… my God, I feel like I’m still a kid practically, but your teachers and your parents and everybody’s got everything planned out for you with high expectations. But what if it has nothing to do with you? You lose track of yourself, and that’s fake! We’re going into the future and I only have little clues as to what might be out there… sometimes I’m scared to death, and sometimes I’m really excited, and I just wish that for everybody in my class… no for everybody, that whatever you do, you do it true, even if you mess up… even if you fail. I’d rather fail doing my own thing, doing what I wanna do than doing what someone else wants me to do and succeeding.

  6. Cuz if you shoot a bullet, someone dies. When you drop a bomb, many die. You hit a woman, love dies. But… if you say the f-word, nothing actually happens.
