Mental "illness" does not exist, and neither does mental "health." These terms indicate only approval or disapproval of some aspect of a person's mentality (thinking, emotions, or behavior).”

What you're doing is hiding the uncooked pizza, while simultaneously searching for a pizza which is cooked, and then finding it. Reducing “ingredients” down, one does not get to discreet particles. The ingredients are not matter, the ingredients are coordinates.”

Now, as it seems to me, change is set almost exclusively in the minor key, change seen overwhelmingly as loss.”

Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it.”
