“We are only just beginning to understand the power of love because we are just beginning to understand the weakness of force and aggression.”

It is not a question of starting. The start has been made. It’s a question of what’s to be done from now on.

The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. The mystery which surrounds a thinking machine already surrounds a thinking man.

A first principle not formally recognized by scientific methodologists: when you run into something interesting, drop everything else and study it.

A person’s genetic endowment, a product of the evolution of the species, is said to explain part of the workings of his mind and his personal history the rest.

We have seen that in certain respects operant reinforcement resembles the natural selection of evolutionary theory. Just as genetic characteristics which arise as mutations are selected or discarded by their consequences, so novel forms of behavior are selected or discarded through reinforcement.

To require a citizen to sign a loyalty oath is to destroy some of the loyalty he could otherwise claim, since any subsequent loyal behavior may then be attributed to the oath.

I don’t like anybody to be angry with me. I’d rather have friends.

We can have justice whenever those who have not been injured by injustice are as outraged by it as those who have been.

It is an outrage that people can take other people’s lives when they obviously haven’t got their own lives in order.

Everything is a battlefield. If you fight with anger, you are part of the problem. If you fight with joy, you’re part of the solution.

We must recognize that anger only agitates and incites. It cannot squelch or satisfy the hunger for justice.

I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often.

Anger is an all-consuming fire that will burn you and everyone else around you. Where is the justice in that?

Growing up in a particular neighborhood, growing up in a working-class family, not having much money, all of those things fire you and can give you an edge, can give you an anger.
