“Unlike lions and dogs, we are a dissenting animal. We need to dissent in the same way that we need to travel, to make money, to keep a record of our time on earth and in dream, and to leave a permanent mark. Dissension is a drive, like those drives.” WayNeedsDreamEarthAnimalRecordsDogMarkMaking MoneyPermanentOur TimeLionsDissentDissensionTime On EarthOur Time On Earth Book:Letters from the Country Source: Letters from the Country
