Somebody

Random quote of the day:

“Without somebody to watch me, laugh at my jokes, tell me what to do, ask me questions, race me to the river, make me guess the names of birds, or challenge me to count the silvery fish in a school, there was nothing for me to do. Without somebody to be somebody to, it was as though I wasn’t somebody myself.”

―Michael Dorris, Sees Behind Trees

Splinter

Random quote of the day:

“This is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants. If that happens, who then will speak for America? Who then will speak for the common good?

—Barbara Jordan, opening speech, Democratic National Convention, 1976

Random quote of the day:

“Highlight reels are about that one person. After a barrage of highlight reels, you get the sense that you can do it without a team. But music thrived the most when groups were involved. People lose sight of that—that community makes the world run.”

—Questlove, “Tall Glass Of Rock Star-Ness: A Q&A With Questlove,” NPR, April 15, 2013

“I have a different idea of a universal. It is of a universal rich with all that is particular, rich with all the particulars there are, the deepening of each particular, the coexistence of them all.”

Random quote of the day:

“Making a community is not a magic formula for happiness and good; making a community is the result of the happiness and good which people already possess in principle, and the community, whether of one family or several, is the infinitely variable expression of the excellences of human beings, and not their cause.”

—editor, Manas, March 23, 1955
