[my father] did get enough money to buy mules. we didn't have tractors, but he bought mules, wagons, cultivators and some farming equipment. as soon as he bought that and decided to rent some land, because it was always better if you rent the land, but as soon as he got the mules and wagons and everything, somebody went to our trough - a white man who didn't live very far from us - and he fed the mules paris green, put it in their food and it killed the mules and our cows.

Suppose a white man should come to me and say, "joseph, i like your horses. i want to buy them." i say to him, "no, my horses suit me; i will not sell them." then he goes to my neighbor and says to him, "joseph has some good horses. i want to buy them, but he refuses to sell." my neighbor answers, "pay me the money and i will sell you joseph's horses." the white man returns to me and says, "joseph, i have bought your horses and you must let me have them." if we sold our lands to the government, this is the way they bought them.

The corncob was the central object of my life. my father was a horse handler, first trotting and pacing horses, then coach horses, then work horses, finally saddle horses. i grew up around, on, and under horses, fed them, shoveled their manure, emptied the mangers of corncobs.

Today we are crushed by the sheer weight of the mechanized forces hurled against us, but we can still look to the future in which even greater mechanized forces will bring us victory. therein lies the destiny of the world.

Animals are like autistic savants. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that animals might actually be autistic savants. animals have special talents normal people don't, the same way autistic people have special talents normal people don't; and at least some animals have special forms of genius normal people don't, the same way some autistic savants have special forms of genius. i think most of the time animal genius probably happens for the same reason autistic genius does: a difference in the brain autistic people share with animals.

Antidepressants are the biggest fraud in the world. number one, prozac gives you a royal soft-on like you wouldn't believe, and number two you never know all the side effects. i look at the pharmaceutical companies as the drug barons, the psychopharmcologists as the mules and the patients as the victims. they're innocent because they think they're being cured.
