As may be in dark woods, and with a song
It shall not make again all winter long
Of hissing on the yet uncovered ground,”

“For thats what a woman, a mother wantsto teach her children to take an interest in life. She knows its safer for them to be interested in other peoples happiness than to believe in their own.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
