My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.

What you remember saves you.

Laughter was the shape the darkness took around the first appearance of the light.

My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.

I have with me all that I do not knowI have lost none of it.

There are aspects of human life that are not purely destructive, and there is a need to pay attention to the things around us while they are still around us. And you know, in a way, if you don't pay that attention, the anger is just bitterness.

The attempt to live that way, the attempt to treat everybody - it fails all the time - but the attempt to treat people as equals is a good attempt. It's a very good attempt. And there have been very few governments that have come anywhere near it in the past. The Greeks began to, the Romans began to - they both failed.
