Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.
When is constancy required, except under persecution. Are not friends then proved? If they always yield, how can they ever succeed? They must, one time or other, make a stand.
When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it stand on an end.
Spike Lee is openly contemptuous of whites and what he implies to be a white establishment out to get him. Lee's films have grossed in the hundreds of millions. Whites have contributed greatly to this sum, though he seemingly cannot stand them. Hypocritical?
I never pass a Dairy Queen without stopping. I cannot stand tucked-in sheets. I was once a contestant on 'The Price is Right.'

I don't think I've ever been either militant or profound as an anti-Fascist. When the issue has come up, when certain things have come up, and I've been called on to express - literally, when I've been cornered, then I take a left-wing stand.
