"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind."

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Friday.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend...!!!

“Of course, it would be much easier if we could all continue to think in traditional political patterns—of liberalism and conservatism, as Republicans and Democrats, from the viewpoint of North and South, management and labor, business and consumer or some equally narrow framework. It would be more comfortable to continue to move and vote in platoons, joining whomever of our colleagues are equally enslaved by some current fashion, raging prejudice or popular movement. But today this nation cannot tolerate the luxury of such lazy political habits. Only the strength and progress and peaceful change that come from independent judgment and individual ideas—and even from the unorthodox and the eccentric—can enable us to surpass that foreign ideology that fears free thought more than it fears hydrogen bombs. We shall need compromises in the days ahead, to be sure. But these will be, or should be, compromises of issues, not of principles. We can compromise our political positions, but not ourselves.”

John F. Kennedy __ (Profiles in Courage)

"He had an enormous pressure on him. He had become so many things to others while still trying to become himself. For the most part he accepted his strange status, more than that, he took on our ideas of who is suppose to be, he remained loyal to his family and respected their history, he was intensively close to his mother, sister and a few cousins, yet he struggled with what it ment to be his father's son. It was a relationship he never developed and hardly remembered. As an adult, he embraced his father legacy and character in order to define himself, yet he was determined to live his life on his own terms as he pleased." ( Forever Young, My Friendship with John F. Kennedy, Jr. by William Sylvester Noonan with Robert Huber)

" 'It was a Friday,' was the last part of the sentence he heard. He stopped and swung into the room. 'Friday, what was a Friday?' 'The day God created you. You know, it was the end of a long week, God was feeling good, wanted to get going for the weekend, and he said: Give him everything.'
John clapped his hands and laughed. 'Is he talking about my hairline again?' " (Matt Berman)

"He remembered things about his father, but those recollections came with the uncertainty as to whether they were his own or someone else's telling enfolded în his memory. Sometimes, if we were lying în the grass, he'd graze a buttercup against my chin to prove I liked butter. 'My father did that', he'd say. Or he'd whisper nothing în my year- Pss, Pss, Pss -until I laughed. 'My father did that.' There was the helicopter's roar, his father calling him Sam and that making him mad; and nine days before Dallas, the performance of the pipers of the Black Watch on the South Lawn of the White House. The last memory was his: the drums, the marching and how he'd squirmed off his father's lap to get closer. " ( Christina Haag)

"Few nations do more than the United States to assist their least fortunate citizens-to make certain that no child, no elderly or handicapped citizen, no family in any circumstances in any State, is left without the essential needs for a decent and healthy existence. In too few nations, I might add, are the people aware of the progressive strides this country has taken in demonstrating the humanitarian side of freedom. Our record is a proud one-and it sharply refutes those who accuse us of thinking only in the materialistic terms of cash registers and calculating machines."

John F. Kennedy

“One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.”

John F. Kennedy

"You had to meet Carolyn to understand why she captivated John: She was almost preternaturally intense, with an electricity about her that nearly, though not quite, distract you from her physical beauty. The qualities that John liked în women- irreverence, mystery, drama and beauty- she had în abundance.
I met Carolyn for the first time at John's apartament when they had just begun to get serious (...) From somewhere, he pulled out a cigarette. Carolyn whipped out her lighter, a Zippo with the words BLUE EYES engraved on it and lit John's cigarette (...)
My first call the next day was to John, a debriefing of sorts. 'Wow...what was that?'
He replied, 'Pretty wild, huh? That's why I had you stay over. I wanted you to meet her.' " (Robert Littell)

"Jean-Louis once brought a famous plastic surgeon to the George offices to meet him. I stood to the side and watched as this guy marveled at John's face to the point of making John so uncomfortable that he started scratching his nose to break the man's trance. Of course, John's face was perfect." (Matt Berman)

"The covers might have had a lot of style, but the George offices didn't. There were a few visual touches, including a wall-sized George logo that John made for one of the halls. Another wall was plastered with huge fraged covers. (...) John wasn't into furniture, design, decorating, or art. He was given the same corner office as all the executives at Hachette, complete with the same cheesy furniture: a round table like a giant hochey puck made out of light- colored wood. He had a view of the Hudson River on one side and a dramatic Stieglitz-style view of New York on the other" ( JFK, Jr., George & Me by Matt Berman)

"Olivia had fallen asleep in his arms. The water got rough, and she just reached out to John. He was so proud. I think that seeing us with our children made him think, ‘Yes, I can do this.’ " (Sasha Chermayeff)

"It was the pressure of celebrity, and John’s role in it. It just broke her down to the point of real fear and paranoia. Like she wouldn’t go out of the apartment. Her excuse—that she was really shut down sexually—wasn’t really true. But she was shut down from him.” (Sasha Chermayeff)
