Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bomc,' I said. 'We have a protractor.'Okay, I'll go home and see if I can scrounge up a ruler and a piece of string. Neal Stephenson
Forgive me, I guess I am off in the head, but I mean, except for a quickie piece of ass it wouldn't matter to me if all the people in the world died. Yes, I know it's not nice. But I'd be as contended as a snail; it was, after all, the people who had made me unhappy. Charles Bukowski

[T]he safety which is guaranteed by well-functioning mechanisms for the technical control of nature, by the refined psychological control of the person, by the rapidly increasing organizational control of society? this safety is bought at a high price: man, for whom all this was invented as a means, becomes a means himself in the...

The boy took it wordlessly. After a while he fell back and after a while the man could hear him playing. A formless music for the age to come.
