You were soft as clay straight from the earth. You were reformed before you were formed.”

What's needed is a reformer.

What's needed is a reformer.

And how does the reformer remain straight,
By looking beyond the beliefs of binary lanes.”

If these people had decent homes and a more private or bosky outdoor place, they wouldn't be on the street!" That judgment represents a profound misunderstanding of cities. It makes no more sense than to drop in at a testimonial banquet in a hotel and conclude that if these people had wives who could cook, they would give their parties at home.”
