Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.” “Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality.” “There warnt anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warnt any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summertime because its cool. If you notice, most folks dont go to church only when theyve got to; but a hog is different.” |
