The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.

He thought about the story his daughter was living and the role she was playing inside that story. he realized he hadn't provided a better role for his daughter. he hadn't mapped out a story for his family. and so his daughter had chosen another story, a story in which she was wanted, even if she was only being used. in the absence of a family story, she'd chosen a story in which there was risk and adventure, rebellion and independence.

We cannot fight against collectivism, unless we fight against its moral base: altruism. we cannot fight against altruism, unless we fight against its epistemological base: irrationalism. we cannot fight against anything, unless we fight for something--and what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason and a view of man as a rational being.

Beyond love, beyond unrequited love, perhaps even beyond any other passion known to humanity, deep, deep in the depths of the turgid, clinging, swamplike pit of despair that lies dormant within every soul, lurks jealousy. jealousy, that most demeaning and debilitating of emotions. jealousy, which can double the strength of the love upon which it is based, but whilst doubling it, warp and pervert it, untill it is no longer recognizable as the thing of beauty it once was. jealous love is no more like true love than mr hyde was like dr jekyll or a stagnant swamp is like a freshwater lake.

Lying Compassion Reason Why
