Maybe Death Is The Great Equalizer, The One Big Thing That Can Finally Make Strangers Shed A Tear For One Another

I'd Always Been Interested In Psychology.

We've Got A Form Of Brainwashing Going On In Our Country…. Do You Know How They Brainwash People? They Repeat Something Over And Over. And That's What We Do In This Country. Owning Things Is Good. More Money Is Good. More Property Is Good. More Commercialism Is Good. More Is Good. More Is Good. We Repeat It--and Have It Repeated To Us--over And Over Until Nobody Bothers To Even Think Otherwise. The Average Person Is So Fogged Up By All This, He Has No Perspective On What's Really Important Anymore.

These Were People So Hungry For Love That They Were Accepting Substitutes. There Were Embracing Material Things And Expecting A Sort Of Hug Back. But It Never Works. You Can't Substitute Material Things For Love Or For Gentleness Or For Tenderness Or For A Sense Of Comradeship. Money Is No Substitute For Tenderness, And Power Is Not A Substitute For Tenderness. I Can Tell You As I'm Sitting Here Dying, When You Most Need It, Neither Money Nor Power Will Give You The Feeling You're Looking For, No Matter How Much Of Them You Have.
