The organization of american society is an interlocking system of semi-monopolies notoriously venal, an electorate notoriously unenlightened, misled by mass media notoriously phony.
Media Organization Phony
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

Children grow rapidly, forget the centuries-long embrace from their parents, which to them lasted but seconds. children become adults, live far from their parents, live their own houses, learn ways of their own, suffer pain, grow old. children curse their parents for their wrinkled skin and hoarse voices. those now old children also want to stop time, but at another time. they want to freeze their own children at the center of time.
Pain Children Voice
When i began writing these pages i believed their subject to be children, the ones we have and the ones we wish we had, the ways in which we depend on our children to depend on us, the ways in which we encourage them to remain children, the ways in which they remain more unknown to us than they do to their more casual acquaintances; the ways in which we remain equally opaque to them.

There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. it is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. as the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. when the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. under no circumstances can the food be omitted.

What is love? there is nothing in the world, neither man nor devil nor any thing, that i hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing. nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does. therefore, unless you have those weapons that subdue it, the soul plunges through love into an immense abyss.

Great love has many attributes, and shrines for varied worshippers, but his force divine shows most its many-named fulness in the man whose nature multitudinously mixed-- each ardent impulse grappling with a thought-- resists all easy gladness, all content save mystic rapture, where the questioning soul flooded with consciousness of good that is finds life one bounteous answer.
