Heroes
"We didn't come all this way for no two seats, 'cause all of us is tired."
- Fannie Lou Hamer, MFDP ***
"...one of us will
die inside these arms
eyes wide open
naked as we came
one will spread our
ashes 'round the yard"
- iron&wine ***
Because to look into the photographed eyes of a person who will inevitably die is to invoke one's own sense of mortality - unknown ***
"Fear is the most powerful source of violence." - Tzvetan Todorov ***
"Cultural Ingenuity is not just about a less energy intensive lifestyle, but also about filling the void created by withdrawal; not about depriving ourselves of the things we want, but realizing that we never wanted them in the first place." - unknown ***
"I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning" - Aleister Crowley ***
About me: A LUNATIC in Bedlam was asked how he came there? He answered, "By a dispute." "What dispute?" The bedlamite replied, "The world said I was mad; I said the world was mad, and they outwitted me."
