The breakdown of the black community in order to maintain slavery began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river.

I think illness is a family journey no matter what the outcome. Everybody has to be allowed to process it and mourn and deal with it in their own way.

The Hispanic community understands the American Dream and have not forgotten what they were promised - that in the U.S. a free market system allows us all to succeed economically achieve stability and security for your family and leave your children better off than yourselves.

Comics don't work if the story is all in the text and the images are illustrative. It's hard to have enough faith in the artists to allow them to do their job.

I want the French people to respect values that allow each individual to practice his or her faith but in the frame of our common rules of secularism.

When I got Jacob's Latter I was nervous because I felt I wasn't allowed to fail. I felt that they were waiting for one little failure and that would prove them right and I'd be 'out of there.'

Success breeds success and failure leads to a sort of fallow period.

Everyone should be commended for allowing people to make disasters to make failures - you've just got to be sure that it's a magnificent failure and that by creating a magnificent failure you plant the seed.

Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour not just writing.

I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure simply because you had to be prepared to go through an idea without any fear. Failure you learned as I did in art school to be a wonderful thing. It allowed you to get up in the morning and take the pillow off your head.

The idea of capitalism is not just success but also the failure that allows success to happen.

If there's any object in human experience that's a precedent for what a computer should be like it's a musical instrument: a device where you can explore a huge range of possibilities through an interface that connects your mind and your body allowing you to be emotionally authentic and expressive.

All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract or in any case one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.

From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history) men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.

I think men are allowed to be fat and bald and ugly and women aren't. And it's just not - there is no equality there.

There needs to be radical development in equality law to create the environment to allow women to stay in work.
