    However far modern science and technics have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson: Nothing is impossible.
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    These boys who love their mother
    who loves men, who passes on
    her sons to other women;

    The cloud across the sky. The windy pines.
    the trickle gurgle in the swampy meadow

    this is our body.
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    What a long strange trip it’s been.
    Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)

    As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)
