We are thirsty and hungry ; ;

We are very proud of it ''.

As Madison commented to Jefferson in 1789, `` We are in a wilderness without a single footstep to guide us.

We began by declaring that all men are created equal.

We now practically read it, all men are created equal except Negroes.

We are desperately in the need of such invention, for man is still very much at the mercy of man.

We get some clue from a few remembrances of childhood and from the circumstance that we are probably not much more afraid of people now than man ever was.

We are not now afraid of atomic bombs in the same way that people once feared comets.

We are worried about what people may do with them -- that some crazy fool may `` push the button ''.

We have staved off a war and, since our behavior has involved all these elements, we can only keep adding to our ritual without daring to abandon any part of it, since we have not the slightest notion which parts are effective.

We are forced, in our behavior towards others, to adopt empirically successful patterns in toto because we have such a minimal understanding of their essential elements.

We are already committed to establishing man's supremacy over nature and everywhere on earth, not merely in the limited social-political-economical context we are fond of today.

We are tempted to blame others for our problems rather than look them straight in the face and realize they are of our own making and possible of solution only by ourselves with the help of desperately needed, enlightened, competent leaders.

We are reminded, however, that freedom of thought and discussion, the unfettered exchange of ideas, is basic under our form of government.

We are also struck by the fact that this story of a boy's love for his mother does not offend, while the incestuous love of the man, Paul Morel, sometimes repels.

We have so completely entered the child's fantasy that his illness and his death are the plausible and the necessary conclusion.

We feel uncomfortable at being bossed by a corporation or a union or a television set, but until we have some knowledge about these phenomena and what they are doing to us, we can hardly learn to control them.

We and our friends are, of course, concerned with self-defense.

`` We were requested by the Secretary General, as I understand it, to discuss with you such matters as appear to us to be relevant, and we are not of course either a formal group or a committee in the sense of being guided by any rules or regulations of the Secretariat.

`` We are ready for your next mysterious assignment '', said Mr. Baer to the Hetman.

We are learning how to do these things in some of the vast organized structures of modern society ; ;

We are all, though many of us are snobbish enough to wish to deny it, in far closer sympathy with the art of the music-hall and picture-palace than with Chaucer and Cimabue, or even Shakespeare and Titian.

We haven't had anything to eat all day ''.

We collected `` lucky stones '' -- all the creamy translucent pebbles, worn smooth and round, that we could find in the driveway.

We were forbidden to swing on the gates, lest they sag on their hinges in a poor-white-trash way, but we could stand on them, when they were latched, rest our chins on the top, and stare and stare, committing to memory, quite unintentionally, all the details that lay before our eyes.

We of the liberal-led world got all set for peace and rehabilitation.

We would all meet at ten o'clock at the Kehl bridge, five miles from Strasbourg, and march triumphantly across into Germany.

In the rhyming catechism this doctrine is worded thus: `` In Adam's fall We sin-ned all ''.

We all love to suffer, but some of us love to suffer more than others.

We saw Giuseppe Berto at a party once in a while, tall, lean, nervous and handsome, and, in our opinion, the best novelist of them all except Pavese, and Pavese is dead.

We must, first of all, be willing to forgive others before we can secure God's forgiveness.

If it is not enough that all of our internationalist One Worlders are advocating that we join this market, I refer you to an article in the New York Times' magazine section ( Nov. 12, 1961 ), by Mr. Eric Johnston, entitled `` We Must Join The Common Market ''.

Referring to Britain, he says, `` We see a nation that traditionally values sovereignty above all else willing to give up its economy, placing this authority in Continental hands ''.

We bring back all dead and wounded ''.

We came down off the wall as if he had toppled all of us, and we crouched behind it.

`` We all know that Jake Camaret and the woman are brazenly living together.

We are here because all our paths travel a blind course through a thick forest, seeking human dignity.

We all seek the same thing through different ways -- an end to this long night of two thousand years of darkness and unspeakable abuses which will continue to plague us until the Star of David flies over Zion ''.

We want to make sure that our junior colleagues realize that ideas are welcome, that initiative goes right down to the bottom and goes all the way to the top.

We do not favor one field over another: we think that all inquiry, all scholarly and artistic creation, is good -- provided only that it contributes to a sense and understanding of the true ends of life, as all first-rate scholarship and artistic creation does.

We must determine whether missiles can win a war all by themselves.
