We've scored some victories in the sense that we've cured or treated thousands and changed the discourse about what is possible.","author":"Paul Farmer","tags":["problems","discourse "],"id":4809,"author_id":"Paul+Farmer"},{"text":"The meetings and marches and vigils are cool, but if the enemy isn't present, you're just talking slick to a can of oil.","author":"Darnell Lamont Walker","tags":["america","discourse","discussion","meetings","race-relations","racism"],"id":15114,"author_id":"Darnell+Lamont+Walker"},{"text":"What is realized in the novel is the process of coming to know one's own language as it is perceived in someone else's language, coming to know one's own belief system in someone else's system.","author":"Mikhail Bakhtin","tags":["bakhtin","chronotope","discourse","language","novel"],"id":21696,"author_id":"Mikhail+Bakhtin"},{"text":"Of course, in television's presentation of the 'news of the day,' we may see the Now...This' mode of discourse in it's boldest and most embarrassing form. For there, we are presented not only with fragmented news but news without context, without consequences, without value, and therefore without essential seriousness; that is to say, news as pure entertainment.","author":"Neil Postman","tags":["context","discourse","embarrassing","entertainment","fragment","news","news-of-the-day","presentation","technology","television"],"id":41296,"author_id":"Neil+Postman"},{"text":"A government of, by, and for the people requires that people talk to people, that we can agree to disagree but do so in civility.

I sometimes wonder if this is nothing more than the misguidedness and the wickedness of my own heart. I wonder other times if God wires some of us in such a way so that fair discourse might then be provided, so that honest and unbiased, due process is ultimately more likely to be carried out. Perhaps it is all necessary for variance of perception, for mindful debate: that the heart is meant to create a bit of bias on certain issues; as between one another, they weigh and balance. For not all hearts are the same.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["argument","bias","compassion","court","debate","discerning","discourse","discussion","empathy","evil","god","good","heart","immorality","injustice","judgment","justice","love","mercy","misguided","morality","opinions","perception","perspectives","problems","solutions","sympathy","trial","truth","variance","wicked"],"id":58650,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"We are all full of discourses that we only half understand and half mean.","author":"Rae Armantrout","tags":["discourse","english","language","philosophical"],"id":128815,"author_id":"Rae+Armantrout"},{"text":"It is up to the individual to 'choose' their repertoire of the self.
