discussion quotes

(Hannah Arendt) [process/discussion/opinion]
• Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the battle field. (James Baldwin) [ability/discussion/heroism]
• Real good breeding, as the people have it here, is one of the finest things now going in the world.
