Evening is a reminder of the beauty of the end and that the end might be the reason why we came. If I could hang the stars up, I'd hang 'em up one by one, to leave this world with something my hands made. And when that sun came up and made 'em all disappear I'd know my work was real, because nothing real can stay.

Democracy has proved only that the best way to gain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that, they make wonderfully submissive slaves.
Joseph Sobran

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. From - Macbeth

There will be no consolation prize this time the bone is broken clean no baptism, no reprise and no sweet taste of victory All the stars have fallen from the sky and everything else in between satellites have closed their eyes, the moon has gone to sleep
here I am inside a hotel choking on a million words I said cigarettes have burned a hole and dreams are drunk and penniless here I am inside my fathers arms all jagged-bone and whiskey-dry whisper to me quietly now and tell me I will never die
here I am an empty hallway broken window, rainy night I am nineteen sixty-six and I am readyfor a fight people crying hallelujah while the bullet leaves the gun people falling, falling, falling and I don't know where they're falling from

Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy.
Aristotle

'His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.'
