Mythology Is Like Gravity, Inconvenient At Times,

Power Is The Ability Not To Have To Please.

Mistrust Must Be Acted On, And Effective Action By The Ruled Is Not Solitary And Singular, But Joint And Repeated.

I Am Not Sure How Many "sins" I Would Recognize In The World. Some Would Surely Be Defused By Changed Circumstances. But I Can Imagine None That Is More Irredeemably Sinful Than The Betrayal, The Exploitation, Of The Young By Those Who Should Care For Them.

The Surprise Of Animals... In And Out, Cats And Dogs And A Milk Goat And Chickens And Guinea Hens, All Taken For Granted, As If Man Was Intended To Live On Terms Of Friendly Intercourse With The Rest Of Creation Instead Of Huddling In Isolation On The Fourteenth Floor Of An Apartment House In A City Where Animals Occurred Behind Bars In The Zoo.

Those Who Despair Of Life Are Not Long For It.
