the illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. at the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.

naturally, the common people do not want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. tell them they are being attacked, denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country. it works the same in every country.

i walked a mile with pleasure.. she chattered all the way..
but there was nothing i could learn from all she had to say..
i walked a mile with sorrow and never a word said she..
but, oh, all the things i learned when sorrow walked with me..

most people live whether physically, intellectually, or spiritually, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. they make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness.. we all have reservoirs of life to draw upon, of which we do not even dream.

man can never know the kind of loneliness a woman knows. man lies in a woman's womb only to gather strength, he nourishes himself from this fusion, and then he rises and goes into the world, into his work, into battle, into art. he is not lonely. he is busy. the memory of the swim in amniotic fluid gives him energy, completion. the woman may be busy too, but she feels empty. sensuality for her is not only a wave of pleasure in which he has bathed, and a charge of electric joy at contact with another. when man lies in her womb, she is fulfilled, each act of love is a taking of man within her, an act of birth and rebirth, of child bearing and man bearing. man lies in her womb and is reborn each time anew with a desire to act, to BE. but for a woman, the climax is not in the birth, but in the moment when man rests inside of her.

i'm going to share with you a vision that i had, because i love you. and you feel it. you know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense each year, trillions of dollars, correct? instead -- and just play with this -- if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world -- and it would pay for it many times over, not one human being excluded -- we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever in peace. thank you very much. you've been great, i hope you enjoyed it.

if i had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. and contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would.
