All Human Relations Untouched By Love Take

[walt] Whitman And [humanist Educator John] Dewey Tried To Substitute Hope For Knowledge. They Wanted To Put Shared Utopian Dreams - Dreams Of An Ideally Decent And Civilized Society - In The Place Of Knowledge Of God's Will, Moral Law, The Laws Of History, Or The Facts Of Science.... As Long As We Have A Functioning Political Left, We Still Have A Chance To Achieve Our Country, To Make It The Country Of Whitman's And Dewey's Dreams.

I Think You Can Have A Left That Isn't Culturally Conservative Talking About Lunch-bucket Issues.

If The Body Had Been Easier To Understand, Nobody Would Have Thought That We Had A Mind.

To Abjure The Notion Of The Truly Human Is To Abjure The Attempt To Divinize The Self As A Replacement For A Divinized World.

Truth [is] What Is Better For Us To Believe.
