Conflict is not something that needs to be avoided, and there are many ways to find the ideal. - The Malwatch”

“Trolls have a longstanding animosity for goats--"Who's that trip-tapping across my bridge!?"--and this led me to think that perhaps trolls are related to goats, since it seems a lot more plausible to me that your relatives would make you insane than some random hooved mammal, however ecologically destructive it might be. What if trolls evolved from goats? Or, no, better yet, what if goats evolved from trolls? Or were domesticated from trolls by human shepherds? And the trolls despise their domesticated cousins as a disgrace to the once-proud troll race, (much as I assume wolves would despise Chihuahuas if they ever gave them much thought) and eat them at every opportunity.”
“Trolls have existed on this planet for as long as humans. This is what I was told and what I translated to Tub. The first mention of them in recorded history is from ninth-century Norway, when the nefarious creatures began showing up in song, verse, and bedtime stories to keep misbehaving children in line. According to Norse folklore, trolls are one of the Dark Beings, the purest embodiments of evil, and they scurried from between the toes of Ymir, the mythic six-headed Frost Giant whose murdered body became the universe in which we live; his bones became the mountains, his teeth boulders, and so forth.”

“Trop de soin, aucune porte ouverte au hasard, effarouchent la poésie, déjà si difficile à prendre au piège. On l'apprivoise avec un peu d'imprevu. Des arbres où il n'y aura pas d'arbres, un objet qui change de place, un chapeau enlevé qui se retrouve sur la tête, bref une crevasse dans le mur et la poésie pénètre. Ceux qui s'aperçoivent de ces fautes d'rthographe sont ceux qui lisent mal et ne sont pas fascinés par l'histoire. Aucune importance.”

“Trop souvent, on aime comme on va chez le boulanger. Sans passion, avec toute- fois un certain plaisir anticipé, des fois qu’un gâteau nous fasse de l’œil. On appelle ça de l’amour pour se justifier, comme le boulanger est pâtissier par la grâce des fonds de tarte industriels qu’il reçoit nocturnement par camion réfrigéré. Mais on a besoin de pain et, de temps à autre, aussi d’un gâteau – d’un dimanche, en somme – pour rompre la monotonie.”
“Tropes and cliches have to come from somewhere, right? Women like me clearly have always existed. So it's either a very specific kind of self-sabotage or an ancient curse. Come to think of it, maybe it started with Lilith. Too weird to be a coincidence.”

“Troppi grassi, troppo sale e troppo zucchero. Ma soprattutto poca frutta e verdura. Mangiare male fa male, fa ammalare e spesso fa morire. La cattiva alimentazione uccide più del tabacco ed è responsabile di un decesso su cinque a livello globale. E' il drammatico bilancio tracciato dal Global Burden of Disease dell'Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation di Seattle, che ha indagato sugli stili alimentari di 195 Paesi nel mondo, i cui risultati sono stati pubblicati sulla prestigiosa rivista medica .”

“Trotsky found out about him - Leon Trotsky - because A.J.[Muste] worked. He was an activist. And he organized the first sit-in strike in Toledo in a factory. And Trotsky was very impressed with that.”
“Trotsky once wrote: "How many Aristoteles are herding swine? And how many swineherds are sitting on thrones?" Class society impoverishes people, not just materially but psychologically. The lives of millions of human beings are confined to the narrowest limits. Their mental horizons are stunted. Socialism would release all the colossal potential that is being wasted by capitalism.”

“Trotsky rises to give me his hand, then sits at his desk, gently allowing his regard to light on my person.”
“Trotsky's assault on Kronstadt in March 1921 marked a point of no return. There was no longer even a whiff of pretense that the Communist government had the support of the people over whom it ruled. The Red Terror had been aimed at "class enemies"; the Civil War was a struggle against "imperialists and White Guards." Even the peasant wars had pitted, in theory at least, proletarians against "capitalist farmers." But now the world's first "proletarian" government had begun slaughtering urban proletarians, too. It is no wonder that "Kronstadt" became, in addition to a black mark on Trotsky's record, a byword of Bolshevik betrayal for European socialists who refused to bow to Moscow.”

“Trotsky's view that the gap between aspiration and achievement will be a permanent feature of human life, so that tragedy will be permanently relevant to the contemporary human experience, seems far more faithful to Marx's view...”
