To me, the irony of this involvement with size, as I observed earlier, is the unwillingness or inability of so many Americans to identify themselves with something as vast as the United States. Bigger cars, bigger parking lots, bigger corporate structures, bigger farms, bigger drug stores, bigger supermarkets, bigger motion-picture screens. The tangible and the functional expand, while the intangible and the beautiful shrink. Left to wither is the national purpose, national educational needs, literature and theater, and our critical faculties. The national dialogue is gradually being lost in a froth of misleading self-congratulation and cliche. National needs and interests are slowly being submerged by the national preoccupation with the irrelevant.

There is confusion regarding the position of the External Affairs Minister. We are trying for the membership of the Security Council of the United Nation.

The bond and kinship which indissolubly exists between all living beings requires especially on our part a deep involvement in their welfare. The indifference, callousness and contempt that so many people exhibit toward animals is evil first because it results in great suffering in animals, and second because it results in an incalculably great impoverishment of the human spirit.

If there is no worker involvement, there is no quality system.

We think there is a parallel between the Federal involvement in education and the decline in quality over recent years.

We first have to find the way of freedom from involvement before we can introduce freedom in involvement.

What is attempted in these film is of course a synthesis. But it can be seen by someone who has his feet in both cultures. Someone who will bring to bear on the films involvement and detachment in equal measure.

[Democrats challenged Bush's arguments on the Iraq mission.] The president went into Iraq under a false premise, without a plan, and has totally mismanaged our involvement, ... Now he is trying to justify his actions with a series of excuses.

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.
