“I guess I was dumb to think a vermin like you could ever stop infesting my house." He grins, his dimples pressing into his cheeks. "You think I'm irreplaceable? Oh, stop, you're full of lines today.”

“I've never been this deliriously happy in my entire life. Tori, you are the sun, moon and stars in my world,” he said, gazing into her big beautiful eyes. Falling in love with her had made him feel more alive than he had in years, and he realized even more acutely what had been missing in his life. “And you are mine,” she echoed, and they made love again. Afterward, she let out a contented sigh as she lay encircled in his arms, her head resting on his chest as she drifted off to sleep to the beating of his heart. That's How You Know by Julie Simmons (Chapter 14)”

“What is deadly is not the much-discussed atomic bomb as this particular death-dealing machine. What has long since been threatening man with death, and indeed with the death of his own nature, is the unconditional character of mere willing in the sense of purposeful self-assertion in everything. What threatens man in his very nature is the willed view that man, by the peaceful release, transformation, storage, and channeling of the energies of physical nature, could render the human condition, man's being, tolerable for everybody and happy in all respects. But the peace of this peacefulness is merely the undisturbed continuing relentlessness of the fury of self-assertion which is resolutely self-reliant. What threatens man in his very nature is the view that this imposition of production can be ventured without any danger, as long as other interests besides—such as, perhaps, the interests of a faith—retain their currency. As though it were still possible for that essential relation to the whole of beings in which man is placed by the technological exercise of his will to find a separate abode in some side-structure which would offer more than a temporary escape into those selfdeceptions among which we must count also the flight to the Greek gods! What threatens man in his very nature is the view that technological production puts the world in order, while in fact this ordering is precisely what levels every ordo, every rank, down to the uniformity of production, and thus from the outset destroys the realm from which any rank and recognition could possibly arise.”
