I should consent to breed under pressure, if i were convinced in any way of the reasonableness of reproducing the species. but my nerves and the nerves of any woman i could live with three months, would produce only a victim... lacking in impulse, a mere bundle of discriminations. if i were wealthy i might subsidize a stud of young peasants, or a tribal group in tahiti.

More From Ezra Pound

Being a victim doesn't take much. there are built-in excuses for failure. built-in excuses for being miserable. built-in excuses for being angry all the time. no reason to trying to be happy; it's not possible. you're a victim. victim of what? well, you're a victim of derision. well, you're a victim of america. you're a victim of america's past, or you're a victim of religion. you're a victim of bigotry, of homophobia, whatever. you're a victim of something. the democrats got one for you. if you want to be a victim, call 'em up.

Under patriarchy, no woman is safe to live her life, or to love, or to mother children. under patriarchy, every woman is a victim, past, present, and future. under patriarchy, every woman's daughter is a victim, past, present, and future. under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.
Daughter Mother Children
A significant number of people believe tribal people still live and dress as they did 300 years ago. during my tenure as principal chief of the cherokee nation, national news agencies requesting interviews sometimes asked if they could film a tribal dance or if i would wear traditional tribal clothing for the interview. i doubt they asked the president of the united states to dress like a pilgrim for an interview.

Must love be ever treated with profaneness as a mere illusion? or with coarseness as a mere impulse? or with fear as a mere disease? or with shame as a mere weakness? or with levity as a mere accident? whereas it is a great mystery and a great necessity, lying at the foundation of human existence, morality, and happiness,--mysterious, universal, inevitable as death.
Love Lying Disease
Government's running the student loan program; what in the world could be wrong with it? if the government's running it, if obama's taken it over, and he's got a lot of compassion, a big heart, loves people, what could possibly be wrong with it? and then the subject of tuition came up, and how come tuition never gets cut? why does tuition always go up? guarantee, folks, when you subsidize something, if you run a university and the government's gonna subsidize parts of your operation, why in the world should you cut anything?
Running Taken Heart
I really feel concerned about young people within our present culture. our present culture, we have to change. change is inevitable and i wasn't raised in our present culture but it has great pressure that as a young person i never had. material pressure, social pressure, visual pressure, how you look, and i just try to appeal to young people to think for themselves, to be their own person, and to ask questions and also be very attentive to our planet and our environment.

I think maybe the reason i have spent most of my life being afraid is that i have been trying to prepare myself to train my body for real fear when it comes. but i am not prepared.
Real Thinking Trying
Although there are some parallels to the problems that we're seeing now and what we say back in the '30s, no period is exactly the same. for us to simply recreate what existed back in the '30s in the 21st century, i think would be missing the boat. we've gotta come up with solutions that are true to our times and true to this moment. and that's gonna be our job. i think the basic principle that government has a role to play in kick starting an economy that has ground to a halt is sound.
