“I do not know how bad a life has to break in order to kill. I have never been so hungry that I willed hunger. I have never been so angry as to want to control a gun over a pen. Not really.

“Some field days can be tough. I've worked inside fuel tanks with 3 foot ceilings, in -42 to +42 Celsius temperatures, in snow and smoke and hail, and I've dug through snow and ice and pavement to find legal evidence. I've worked clear through the night by headlamp, and I've flown in a rickety long-islander with propane tanks strapped into the other seats. I've jury-rigged missing equipment, broken into my own truck, and cut out an emergency helicopter pad with a machete. I've been hungry, cold, tired, lost, injured, and downright hopeless!” LongNightLostMy OwnClearCuttingFeetMissingFieldsBrokenColdEvidenceToughTiredHungrySnowIceSmokeSeatsFuelHopelessEquipmentEmergenciesTruckTemperatureInjuredTanksCeilingsJuryHailPadsPavementHelicoptersRiggedMachetesPropane Author:Mark Mason
“Even at the time—twenty years old—I said to myself: better to go hungry, to go to prison, to be a tramp, than to sit at an office desk ten hours a day.

The streets of Pudong were filled with hungry and terrified refugees, and through them, in simple peasant clothes streaked with the blood of herself and of others, broken shackles dangling from her wrists, followed by her generals and ministers, walked the barbarian Princess with her book and her sword.” WayBookWantedSimpleBloodStreetsBuildingBrokenClothesStonesFilledHungryMinistersPrincessTerrifiedRefugeePeasantsWristsBarbariansShackles Book:The Diamond Age Source: The Diamond Age

“THAT crazed girl improvising her music. Her poetry, dancing upon the shore, Her soul in division from itself Climbing, falling She knew not where, Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship, Her knee-cap broken, that girl I declare A beautiful lofty thing, or a thing Heroically lost, heroically found. No matter what disaster occurred She stood in desperate music wound, Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph Where the bales and the baskets lay No common intelligible sound But sang, 'O sea-starved, hungry sea” MadeSoulMatterBeautifulFallGirlFoundLostSoundCommonSeaBrokenNo Matter WhatLaysDancingWoundsDisasterHungryTriumphKneesDesperateDivisionHidingClimbingShoreIrelandCapsLoftyBasketsThat GirlImprovisingCargo Book:Poems of William Butler Yeats Source: Poems of William Butler Yeats
