"You donâ€™t get black power by chanting it. You get it by doing what the other groups have done. The Irish kept quiet. They didnâ€™t shout â€œIrish Powerâ€, â€œJew Powerâ€, [or] â€œItalian Powerâ€. They kept their mouths shut and took over the police department of New York City, and the mayorship of Boston."

-- Whitney M. Young

“You need to control the country, and the main thing is not to ruin people's lives.”
“The routines of almost all famous writers, from Charles Darwin to John Grisham, similarly emphasise specific starting times, or number of hours worked, or words written. Such rituals provide a structure to work in, whether or not the feeling of motivation or inspiration happens to be present. They let people work alongside negative or positive emotions, instead of getting distracted by the effort of cultivating only positive ones. â€˜Inspiration is for amateurs,â€™ the artist Chuck Close once memorably observed. â€˜The rest of us just show up and get to work.”
