“He’d dive deeper and deeper into the calming depths of the sea, safe from the storms on the surface. And when he found himself coming up for air to interact with an unbalanced person who was stuck in the methodical illusion of the game, it would be his wealth of knowledge instead of his wealth of coin that would allow him to act like a cruise liner upon the surface of the sea, too immense for waves to agitate.”

“How can it be repeated and what for? I love and can love only that earth which I have left, stained with my blood, when, in my ingratitude, I quenched my life with a bullet in my heart. But I have never, never ceased to love that earth, and perhaps on the very night I parted from it I loved it more than ever. Is there suffering upon this new earth? On our earth we can only love with suffering and through suffering. We cannot love otherwise, and we know of no other sort of love. I want suffering in order to love.”

“DNA & Race (Sonnet) Ancestral roots count for nothing, modern humans are identified by behavior. In the end, all roots lead to Africa - transcending roots we lay the human culture. Beyond markers of immediate biological family, DNA ancestry tests are practically meaningless. There is no genetic test for ethnicity - science declares sanctions on racism, not validation. There is no White DNA, Black DNA. There is no Muslim DNA, Jewish DNA. There is no Aryan DNA, Dravidian DNA. We're made of stuff of the stars, why do you still rot in the jungle gutter! If you are seeking validation for your bigotry and prejudice, all we scientists can offer you are directions to the nearest psychiatrist.”
