“Sonnet of Behavior
The beauty that you see with your eyes,
Is but an illusive sign of fertility.
The beauty that you see with your mind,
Is a sign of life, truth and eternity.
The peace that you seek in possessions,
Is but a mirage most rotten.
The peace that is dormant in your heart,
Will make this world awakened.
The order that you seek in law,
Is but a sign of disorder and inhumanity.
The order that the world truly needs,
Is born of your own accountability.
Chasing illusions breeds only insecurity.
Pursue meaning and there'll be serenity.”

“Lurking in roughly equal preeminence in humankind’s angst-ridden soul is an antipodal nature, a righteous persona manacled to an agathokakological creature. The species Homo sapiens creates art, literature, music, poetry, architecture, and developed mathematics and philosophy. This creature is also prone to homicide, equipped for rape and sadism, inclined towards religious violence and secular killings, and capable of torture and cannibalism.”

“Running out the anchor line, the pirates babbled to one another, and in the tangle of their barbaric language, Aspasia listened for one word—Athens. It lit up the darkness in her mind, like the single glint her eyes fixed on above the distant gray-green hills.”
