[A] permanent possibility of selfishness arises from the mere fact of having a self, and not from any accidents of education or ill-treatment. And the weakness of all Utopias is this, that they take the greatest difficulty of man and assume it to be overcome, and then give an elaborate account of the overcoming of the smaller ones. They first assume that no man will want more than his share, and then are very ingenious in explaining whether his share will be delivered by motor-car or balloon. Gilbert K. Chesterton

Dreams are rough copies of the waking soul Yet uncorrected of the higher will, So that men sometimes in their dreams confess. An unsuspected, or forgotten, self; -Since Dreaming, Madness, Passion, are akin. In missing each that salutory rein. Of reason, and the grinding will of man. Pedro Calderon de la Barca
I realized I was going to get through this disappointing service, and anyway, you have to be somewhere: better here, where I have heard truth spoken so often, than, say, at the DMV, or home alone, orbiting my own mind. And it's good to be out where others can see you, so you can't be your ghastly spoiled self. It forces you to act slightly more elegantly, and this improves your thoughts, and thereby the world. Anne Lamott
