“There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills, blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue - the mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting, because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can’t control it.” MenWorldWayMindLossInterestingVisionWatchesNovelBalanceTerribleHorrorSkillsDepthCommunicateTongueBehaveVillageHelplessMotorVegasLas VegasColumnsIrresponsibleNumbLoathingDrunkardsDepravedBingeFear And LoathingRecoil Author:Hunter S.

“I cannot find words to express the depth of my loss or outrage about what's happening to this country. I don't know if I can find the words for it, but if this country ever recovers, it will not be in my lifetime. If I were elected President, the first thing I would do would be to set up a Department of Restoring the Bill of Rights. I would have 10,000 people working there.” PeopleIfsKnowsFirstsI CanCountryWould BePresidentLossRightsHappeningsBillsLifetimeDepthDepartmentOutrageBill Of RightsRestoring Author:Sara Paretsky

“You are in the depths of despair because you locked in on something or someone that didn't belong to you. I've met many people who have lost everything, especially in these times. People who survive devastating loss have the ability to let go of what they were doing, how much they were earning, and what they feel they are entitled to right now. They may well return to their former status, but their immediate task is to assess their skills and show resilience moving forward.” PeopleFeelsWellsMayShowsMovingLostLossAbilityReturnMetsRight NowSkillsLetting GoDespairTasksDepthResilienceMoving ForwardFormerLockedEntitledEarningLost EverythingDevastating Loss Author:Caroline Myss

“She is nine, beloved, as open-faced as the sky and as self-contained. I have watched her grow. As recently as three or four years ago, she had a young child's perfectly shallow receptiveness; she fitted into the world of time, it fitted into her, as thoughtlessly as sky fits its edges, or a river its banks. But as she has grown, her smile has widened with a touch of fear and her glance has taken on depth. Now she is aware of some of the losses you incur by being here--the extortionary rent you have to pay as long as you stay.” WorldYearsChildrenLongSelfYoungThreeGrowsLossPayTakenFourSkyFitYears AgoRiversDepthEdgesNineBelovedFour YearsShallowGlancesYoung ChildrenHer SmileSelf Contained Book:Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters Source: Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters
