Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between sculptors and mimes in terms of their artistic focus. Sculptors are concerned with capturing the core essence of gesture through their creations, emphasizing the physical movement and form. On the other hand, mime artists prioritize portraying attitude, allowing their performances to convey emotions, expressions, and energetic responses without using words. While both forms of art involve bodily expressions, this quote suggests that sculptors concentrate more on the anatomical aspect, while mimes emphasize the emotional and attitudinal aspects of human behavior.

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. In other words, I don't improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.

I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.
