“Everyoneâ€”all of us, every last person on Godâ€™s earthâ€”deserves decent shelter.Â It speaks to the most basic of human needsâ€”our homeâ€”the soil from which allÂ of us, every last person, either blossom or wither.

If the young man's in charge or won't let the old man take over, the young man's brute strength becomes destructive and inefficient, and the old man's intelligence, out of frustration, grows cruel and inefficient. Sometimes the old man forgets that he is old and tries to compete with the young man's strength, and then it's a sad sight. Or the young man forgets that he is young and argues with the old man about how to do the work, and that's a sad sight, too.”

All of these problems are tied together. What I'm saying today is that we must go from this convention and say, "America, you must be born again!"”
“It is the treating of the commonplace with the feeling of the sublime that gives to art its true power.”
“I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me... but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.”
