Because I ran a repeat of the "Mao Quotes" last week, I'm hitting you up with two, count em, two quotes this week.

Mao said:
The way these comrades look at problems is wrong. They do not look at the essential or main aspects but emphasize the non-essential or minor ones. It should be pointed out that these non-essential or minor aspects must not be overlooked and must be dealt with one by one. But they should not be taken as the essential or main aspects, or we will lose our bearings. - July, 1955

The only way to know conditions is to make social investigations, to investigate the conditions of each social class in real life. For those charged with directing work, the basic method for knowing conditions is to concentrate on a few cities and villages according to a plan and using the fundamental viewpoint of Marxism, i.e., the method of class analysis, make a number of thorough investigations. - April, 1941
