• You're living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution
  A time where there's got to be a change. People in power have misused it
  And now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built
  And the only way is going to be built is with extreme methods
  And I for one will join with anyone, don't care what color you are
  As long as you want change this miserable condition that exists on this earth

On the contrary, Man is a creature whom the Angels-were they capable of envy-would envy. Let us lift up our hearts!

• I don't like your miserable lonely single front name. It is so limited, so meager; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.

  D. H. Lawrence
