“Generation Understanding (Sonnet 2480)
No matter what the apes want you to believe,
it's not weakness to abandon suspicion,
it's not weakness to discard judgment,
it's not weakness to practice empathy,
it's not weakness to be considerate -
it's not misdemeanor to denounce primitive
practices that our ancestors thought sensible,
it's a sign of wisdom, not stupidity, to admit
ignorance, rather than succumb to supernatural.
My favorite answer of all is, 'I don't know' -
in the absence of rigorous investigation
that's the answer I fall back on the most;
then there are times when logic is immaterial,
there I avoid all mention of knowledge, and
take the humane course, despite reason or ritual.”

We took responsibility for ourselves--and later we also took responsibility for our work or partners or children or parents. We should be proud of ourselves.”

What the father has made, the son can make and enjoy; but has also work of his own appointed him. Thus all things wax and roll onwards: arts, establishments, opinions, nothing is ever completed, but ever completing.”

“Generations cometh and generations passeth, but the earth abideth forever. While successive generations live and die, and all things change, man can never rest until death claims us. I choose to use my time alone to contemplate human existence, probe the human condition, and trace what it means to be one man in our modern world. There can be no profit from my labor, no lasting yield realized from this laborious and painful sojourn. We will leave everything behind. The earth shall dissolve all of our acquisitions and obliterate all traces of our petty affections. Passage of time shall alter, not annihilate the products of any artistic labors. The substance of our artistic enterprises shall continue forward in a renewed and redefined state.”

We have to stop blaming men and mothers and seize every second of our lives with passion. We can no longer afford to waste our creativity. We cannot afford spiritual laziness.”
