But, – and there it is, – we want to live and move, though we have no reason to, because it happens that it is the nature of life to live and move, to want to live and move. if it were not for this, life would be dead. it is because of this life that is in you that you dream of your immortality.

To show you how radical i am, i want carjackers dead. i want rapists dead. i want burglars dead. i want child molesters dead. i want the bad guys dead. no court case. no parole. no early release. i want 'em dead. get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em.

Immortality—dazzling idea! who first imagined thee! was it some jolly burgher of nuremburg, who with night-cap on his head, and white clay pipe in mouth, sat on some pleasant summer evening before his door, and reflected in all his comfort, that it would be right pleasant, if, with unextinguishable pipe, and endless breath, he could thus vegetate onwards for a blessed eternity? or was it a lover, who in the arms of his loved one, thought the immortality-thought, and that because he could think and feel naught beside!—love! immortality!

Nature Sea Facts
When we enter the landscape to learn something, we are obligated, i think, to pay attention rather than constantly to pose questions. to approach the land as we would a person, by opening an intelligent conversation. and to stay in one place, to make of that one, long observation a fully dilated experience. we will always be rewarded if we give the land credit for more than we imagine, and if we imagine it as being more complex even than language. in these ways we begin, i think, to find a home, to sense how to fit a place.
