Quote by Pedro Calderon de la Barca

But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters. If it be truth, for truth's sake. If not, then to gain friends for the time when we awaken.

But whether it be dream or truth, to do well is what matters

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of doing good regardless of the reality of the situation. Whether our actions align with reality or not, it is essential to prioritize doing well. If our actions are based on truth, then it should be done purely for the sake of truth. However, if our actions are based on a dream or illusion, then it becomes crucial to do good in order to cultivate meaningful relationships that will endure when we finally awaken from the fantasy.

Prostitution is the supreme triumph of capitalism. Worst of

Prostitution is the supreme triumph of capitalism. Worst of all, prostitution reinforces all the old dumb clich?s about women's sexuality; that they are not built to enjoy sex and are little more than walking masturbation aids, things to be DONE TO, things so sensually null and void that they have to be paid to indulge in fornication, that women can be had, bought, as often as not sold from one man to another. When the sex war is won prostitutes should be shot as collaborators for their terrible betrayal of all women, for the moral tarring and feathering they give indigenous women who have had the bad luck to live in what they make their humping ground.

Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?
