Quote by Alexander Freed

“The history of the Republic was not a history of grand schemes and inspired leadership. No history was. Cultural change was unpredictable, composed of subtle shifts, of eddies turned to tidal waves that the brightest and most capable politicians could ride to their own ends.”

“Sometimes language is all we have, and poetry has proven time and again to be a great equalizer, transformer, and community-builder.

“The strange, forgotten animals abandoned by the Company live among us, along with their insatiable curiosity, like Bornes that want nothing from the old world. They need nothing from it. They are their own captains and lead their own lives, although there are still human beings who see them as food, as expandable. In their fearlessness, I find a kind of solace. In how they pursue their own plans, their own destiny, I find relief. They will outstrip all of us in time, and the story of the city will soon be their story, not ours.”

The more grave and important the defect, the more urgent is the need to ennoble it. From sublime to ridiculous is only one step, and an ineradicable vice in strong men is always rechristened a virtue.”
