Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.

Without words, without writing and without books there would

Summary

This quote emphasizes the crucial role of words, writing, and books in human history and understanding of humanity as a whole. It suggests that without these tools, history would be absent and the very notion of what it means to be human would not exist. Words and writings allow for the recording and transmission of knowledge, experiences, and stories, shaping our understanding of the past and our collective identity. Books serve as repositories of wisdom, enabling future generations to learn from the past and enrich their intellectual and cultural development.

Love is just another dirty lie. Love is ergoapiol pills to make me come around because you were afraid to have a baby. Love is quinine and quinine and quinine until I'm deaf with it. Love is that dirty aborting horror that you took me to. Love is my insides all messed up. It's half catheters and half whirling douches. I know about love. Love always hangs up behind the bathroom door. It smells like lysol. To hell with love. Love is making me happy and then going off to sleep with your mouth open while I lie awake all night afraid to say my prayers even because I know I have no right to anymore. Love is all the dirty little tricks you taught me that you probably got out of some book. All right. I'm through with you and I'm through with love.

Republicans rarely criticize Obama for lack of empathy - in part because liberals have traditionally been seen as standing up for the weak and the vulnerable. Conservatives can be just as empathetic.
