Mostly I have felt myself becoming a servant of sadness. I am still looking for the beauty in that.

True beauty is something that attacks, overpowers, robs, and finally destroys.

Yukio Mishima

Henry David Thoreau

Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than the arguments of its opposers.

William Penn

The term up has no meaning apart from the word down. The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.

Thurman W. Arnold

Hope Edelman
