This just popped up in my email this morning. As I've told many people, it's quite wonderful to live in one of the unabashedly liberal corners of our increasingly christo-fascist county.
I love our loopy little corner of the world.

Words (Between the Lines of Age)
"The dead! The dead who loved me in my childhood. Whenever I remember them, my whole soul shivers and I feel exiled from all hearts, alone in the night of myself, weeping like a beggar before the closed silence of all doors."
Fernando Pessoa,
"Do the gods light this fire in our hearts or does each man's mad desire become his god?"
Virgil, Aeneid
Marcel Proust, Remembrance of Things Past
"This is the way the gods ordained the destiny of men, to bear such burdens in our lives, while they feel no affliction."
Homer, The Iliad
