The perceptive act is a reaction of the mind upon the object of which it is the perception.
2
Samuel Alexander

6
Candice Bergen

Elizabeth Blackwell

Charles M. Blow
America is not static. America is striving. And sometimes, America requires critique. Jingoism is an avoidance of realism. You can simultaneously love and be disappointed in the object of your love, wanting it to be better than it is. In fact, that is a measure of love. Honest critique is a pillar of patriotism.
10
Franz Boas
I object to teaching of slogans intended to befog the mind, of whatever kind they may be.
