“Can’t Handle Freedom (The Sonnet) Whole human is the first human, All else are but wannabe. Designation human says it all, Yet why do you chase terminology! Even when you broke free from religion, You could not handle that utter freedom! Like a rightful new descendant of divisionists, You chained the word "human" with an "ism". It is like you can't handle being free, You have to stay enslaved by one ism or another. They used to keep the world apart with religions, Today the same is done by new-age dividers. Human, human, human - that is all we ever are. Not humanist, not socialist, just carers of each other.”

“By the light which the fire afforded, Waverley could discover that his attendants were not of the clan Ivor, for Fergus was particularly strict in requiring from his followers that they should wear the tartan striped in the mode peculiar to their race; a mark of distinction anciently general through the Highlands, and still maintained by those Chiefs who were proud of their lineage, or jealous of their separate and exclusive authority.”

“But besides this, my father, though a Borderer, transacted business for many Highland Lairds, and particularly for one old man called Stuart of Invernahyle, who had been out both in 1715 and '45, and whose tales were the absolute delight of my childhood. I believe there never was a man who united the ardour of soldier and tale-teller - a man of "talk" as they call it in Gaelic - in such an excellent degree, and he was as fond of telling as I was of hearing. I became a valliant Jacobite at the age of ten years, and ever since reason and reading came to my assistance I have never quite got rid of the impression which the gallantry of Prince Charles made on my imagination.”
