On struggle

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.

On speed

Speed is like a dozen transatlantic flights without ever getting off the plane. Timechange. You lose, you gain. Makes no difference so long as you keep taking the pills. But sooner or later you've got to get out because it's crashing and then all at once the frozen hours melt out through the nervous system and seep out through the pores.

Maybe it's best that you're so so blind...

I know your heart can't grieve
What your eyes won't see
But you were my favorite moment
Of our dead century
