In consideration of the annual march for life today...

“I cannot understand anti-abortion arguments that centre on the sanctity of life. As a species we've fairly comprehensively demonstrated that we don't believe in the sanctity of life. The shrugging acceptance of war, famine, epidemic, pain and life-long poverty shows us that, whatever we tell ourselves, we've made only the most feeble of efforts to really treat human life as sacred.”

Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

“... She had heard about girls falling in love, and she knew what kind of people they were and what they looked like. Neither she nor Carol looked like that. Yet the way she felt about Carol passed all the tests for love and fitted all the descriptions.”

-Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt

(Jan. 19, 1921 - Feb. 4, 1995)

“People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do; I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy.” ~Faulkner

All false prophets create a heightened sense of looming danger that allows them to consolidate power to a tragic end. Historically, the reaction of the panicked people is to retreat to their respective "tribes," and there you see the rise of protectionism, nationalism, populism, xenophobia, nativism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia, with the corresponding reactions of increased hate speech and violence toward anything "foreign." ... Today, Trump is the West's most powerful false prophet.

—Vicente Fox, Former President of Mexico

Interesting perspective...

Genesis · 01-25-2018, 12:56 PM

Once it smiled a silent dell
Where the people did not dwell;
They had gone unto the wars,
Trusting to the mild-eyed stars,
Nightly, from their azure towers,
To keep watch above the flowers,
In the midst of which all day
The red sun-light lazily lay.
Now each visitor shall confess
The sad valley’s restlessness.
Nothing there is motionless—
Nothing save the airs that brood
Over the magic solitude.
Ah, by no wind are stirred those trees
That palpitate like the chill seas
Around the misty Hebrides!
Ah, by no wind those clouds are driven
That rustle through the unquiet Heaven
Uneasily, from morn till even,
Over the violets there that lie
In myriad types of the human eye—
Over the lilies there that wave
And weep above a nameless grave!
They wave:—from out their fragrant tops
External dews come down in drops.
They weep:—from off their delicate stems
Perennial tears descend in gems...

- Edgar Allan Poe
