“It's peculiar how this worked out, ... I was doing an interview while I still worked at WAOL (radio station) and I wrote down his (Rogers) number for the Turkey hot line. I kept the number and called the (Briggs and Stratton) hot line from home with questions on how to get rid of moles. It was in late May when I called. A few weeks later my wife (Janet) received a call from someone that said we won a free lawn mower. I really didn't know what to think.”

“It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that when we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation - of loneliness, of poverty and misery, the end of all things, or their extreme - then rises in our mind the thought of God.”

“It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.”
W. E. B. Du Bois
