More From George MacDonald

I wept in my dreams. i dreamed you lay in the grave; i awoke, and the tears still poured down my cheeks. i wept in my dreams, i dreamed you had left me; i awoke and i went on weeping long and bitterly. i wept in my dreams, i dreamed you were still kind to me; i awoke, and still the flow of my tears streams on.
Dream Long Tears
And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.
Zoos Believe Animal
I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. my theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. if we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... all animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.

I just said let's get some poets on tv. and when they said that sounded unlikely, i made it worse. i said, no man, i want to put a bunch of black poets on stage, too. some latino poets who barely speak english and asian poets who can't believe how discriminated against they are. it was luck nad being in the right place. i wasn't saying nothing somebody else wasn't saying but they wouldn't hear it from them.
Believe Men Speak English
There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. and when the lambs whisper among themselves, "these birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a bird of prey must be good," there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument-though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, we have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.
Trust Opposites Evil
I fear animals regard man as a creature of their own kind which has in a highly dangerous fashion lost its healthy animal reason - as the mad animal, as the laughing animal, as the weeping animal, as the unhappy animal.

I love fashion. what i love is the ability to express yourself, to be able to make a product and shoot an ad campaign that tosses you out into the world and lets you have a voice in contemporary culture, iconography. i felt a little bit neutered not having that voice.
