... America is the greatest humiliator in existence. It is always cultivating the power you get from humiliating others.

We sit on the kitchen exchanging these diabolical outgrowths of overfertile minds.

Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.
