I would have been completely brainwashed by this lopsided and racist view of the world if it weren't for my father. He was a deep thinker and an irrepressible problem solver. He was a Black Socrates, asking why and then spoiling ready-made replies.

Man must rise above the Earth...o the top of the atmosphere and beyond, for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.

As a rule of thumb I say, if Socrates, Jesus and Tolstoy wouldn't do it, don't.

Let him who would move the world first move himself.
