Let the past be content with itself, for man needs forgetfulness as well as memory.

Let the past be content with itself, for man needs forgetfulness as well as memory

A man climbs the mountains because he needs to climb, because that is the way he is made, Rock and ice and snow and wind and the great blue canopy of the sky are not all that he finds upon the mountain-tops.

He discovers things about his own body and mind that he had almost forgotten in the day-to-day, year-to-year routine of living. He learns what his legs are for, what his lungs are for, what the wise men of old meant by refreshment of the spirit.

The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.

If a man needs his appendix taken out, his gallbladder treated and some brain surgery as well, I don't think too many doctors would do the jobs simultaneously.

This man needs to be thrown in a deep, dark hole and left to rot.
