A Quote by Godfrey Reggio

What I'm trying to do is to at least raise a flag to the blinding light of technology. — © Godfrey Reggio
What I'm trying to do is to at least raise a flag to the blinding light of technology.
Let us remember with devotion that the flag we love and honor is the flag of freedom that flew in victory at Yorktown, the flag the United States Marines raised on Mount Suribachi, the flag Francis Scott Key saw by the dawn's early light. Long may it wave.
I take any opportunity I can to raise our country's flag really high and get some shining positive light on things over there.
I was there during the first elections in South Africa. I watched them take down the apartheid flag and raise the new flag.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.
The flag is a symbol of our freedom, and burning it absolutely is one of the least patriotic things that a person could possibly do. I say 'one of the least' because I can think of a few things that would actually be less so - and, as a matter of fact, I think that banning flag-burning would absolutely be on that list.
You can salute the flag. You can revere the flag. You can respect the flag. And all of those are fine. What you cannot do is use the flag as a blindfold. You can't use the flag as a blindfold and not see the things you've seen with your very eyes that tell you that what's keeping this country held back is systemic racism.
I cut through the nonsense with the blinding light of truth.
What I’m trying to show is that the main event today is not seen by those of us that are living it… So it’s not the effect of [technology], it is that everything exists with-in [its milieu]. It's not that we use technology, we live technology. Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.
Technology breeds crime and we are constantly trying to develop technology to stay one step ahead of the person trying to use it negatively.
We're not trying to raise good kids. We're trying to raise kids who become great adults. That's a very different thing. We all know parents who had kids that when they turned 18 left the house and went nuts.
Not that I haven't leaped up into the blinding light of competence now and then. It's sustaining the altitude that defeats me.
Even a small match lit in a place of total darkness gives off a blinding light.
If you can't raise consciousness, at least raise hell.
We have, for generations, been trying to be more inclusive of the word Southern. And a symbol like the confederate flag indicates white only are allowed into that world. And removing the Confederate flag from public view to the pages of history is long overdue.
The truth isn't always a blinding light. Sometimes it's a deep and dazzling darkness, that illuminates - and burns - just as surely.
The words 'give up,' 'raise the white flag' do not exist in my vocabulary.
