More From Aidan Quinn

The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. society highly values its normal man. it educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.

Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

I don't need to praise anything so justly famous as frost's observation of and empathy with everything in nature from a hornet to a hillside; and he has observed his own nature, one person's random or consequential chains of thoughts and feelings and perceptions, quite as well. (and this person, in the poems, is not the "alienated artist" cut off from everybody who isn't, yum-yum, another alienated artist; he is someone like normal people only more so - a normal person in the less common and more important sense of normal.)
Cutting Artist People
If you want your children to relate to the culture you live in, if you want to train them outside of the general system, you have to tell your children that ordinary children tend to say things like 'i can run faster than you; i can draw better than you; i know things you don't know'. you have to tell them what normal children are like. normal children are messed up and you have to tell them about that. but if you instruct your child in high correlation with the physical world, they won't be able to relate with normal children. normal means mixed up as i use the word.
Running Children Mean
The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. they are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society.
Real Struggle Voice
I want a girl because i want to bring her up so that she shan't make the mistakes i've made. when i look back upon the girl i was i hate myself. but i never had a chance. i'm going to bring up my daughter so that she's free and can stand on her own feet. i´m not going to bring a child into the world, and love her, and bring her up, just so that some man may want to sleep with her so much that he's willing to provide her with board and lodging for the rest of her life.
