“As for the position they held in this war … well, I think they’ve been more skillful than the Americans.

“Every thread of creation is held in position
By still other strands of things living.”

Don McLean (1945) American Singer and songwriter

"Tapestry"
Song lyrics, Tapestry (1970)
Context: Every thread of creation is held in position

As not to be satisfied with their own negativity
But needing to touch all the living as well.

“Let us not deceive ourselves: our talent profile is nowhere near that of, say, the Jews or the Japanese in America. The exceptional number of Nobel Prize winners who are Jews is no accident.

And the number of high calibre Japanese academics, professionals, and business executives is out of all proportion to the percentage of Japanese in the total American population”

“If we have system in which government is in a position to give large favor - it's human nature to try to get this favor - whether those people are large enterprises, or whether they're small businesses like farmers, or whether they're representatives of any other special group.
