• In glades they meet skull after skull
  Where pine cones lay-the rusted gun,
  Green shoes full of bones,
  the mouldering coat And cuddled up skeleton;
  And scores of such.
  Some start as in dreams,
  And comrades lost bemoan;
  By the edge of those wilds Stonewall had charged-
  But the year and the Man were gone.

  Herman Melville

• The North can make a steam engine, locomotive or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or a pair of shoes can you make.

Only in spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with.

• A lean, loose-jointed Negro had commenced plunking a guitar beside me while I slept. His clothes were rags; his feet peeped out of his shoes. His face had on it some of the sadness of the ages. As he played, he pressed a knife on the strings of the guitar in a manner popularized by Hawaiian guitarists who used steel bars. The effect was unforgettable.

• But countless studies have shown that a cue and a reward, on their own, aren't enough for a new habit to last. Only when your brain starts expecting the reward--craving the endorphins or sense of accomplishment--will it become automatic to lace up your jogging shoes each morning. The cue, in addition to triggering a routine, must also trigger a craving for the reward to come.

Incidents where kids were getting shot, and getting their tennis shoes ripped off their dead bodies. It just seems like these kids are dying at younger and younger ages and getting involved in gang activity.
