The truth is, I could no more dictate her nature than she could dictate mine. Kinsey's happy as she is and she doesn't need to be rescued, improved, or saved.

I don't dictate the solos and I don't dictate the vocal harmonies.
I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
They become the keepers of the mystery. They place themselves between the communicants of the religion, and the immediate experience. And then they dictate the terms on which you can have contact with this wonderful mystery. We don't dictate those terms.

Orestes
I’d kill you if there wasn’t
An umbilical cord wedged between us.
Gods dictate what will happen
If I don’t murder you.
The Gods dictate what will happen
If I do.
Everything happens in circles,
A cycle that’ll never stop.
Humans can’t stop the cycle,
But they keep it spinning instead.
It makes no sense,
But, nothing ever does.
I’d kill you if there wasn’t
An umbilical cord wedged between us.
Gods dictate what will happen
If I don’t murder you.
The Gods dictate what will happen
If I do.

Love For Spouse, Child and Parents
The more you love one the more you will sway.
The more you sway the more you will cordon.
Your spouse loves her liberty more than your love.
The more you care one the more you dictate.
The more you dictate the more you confine.
Your children prefer freedom to your care.
The more you trust one the more you demand.
The more you demand the more you embarrass.
Your parents enjoy relaxation as well

The skin dictates
His skin is white and mine is black.
Our blood is red and tears, salty.
The souls must have no disparity.
No use, the skin will dictate the terms.

Voices
This place is not a happy home for voices.
This place is where a voice goes when it's lost.
When compelling, any argument will dictate,
that its user pays the other side in cost.

There is no observation more frequently made by such as employ themselves in surveying the conduct of mankind, than that marriage, though the dictate of nature, and the institution of Providence, is yet very often the cause of misery, and that those who enter into that state can seldom forbear to express their repentance, and their envy of those whom either chance or caution hath withheld from it.

You have to let the viewers come away with their own conclusions. If you dictate what they should think, you've lost it.
The radios are going to dictate. That's another fight. That's another story there. I wish they just let it be.

Homosexuality
This is the
Age of
Open
Homosexuality.
It's slowly
Losing its
Promiscuity.
It's becoming
As prevalent
As heterosexuality.
I don't know
What the fuss
Is all about…
As long as
The person
Is old enough
To understand
His sexuality...
Doesn't harm
Anybody…
Enjoys safe
Sex -
Who are we
To dictate
That he should
Practise
Only
Heterosexuality?
It's his choice.
Let him experiment.
Let's respect his
Wishes…
Let's accept him
As one of us.
He's a human being
With sexual needs
Just as all of us…
So what
If he's
Gay or bisexual?
It's his life.
Let him live it.
