A practical scheme, says oscar wilde, is either one already in existence, or a scheme that could be carried out under the existing conditions; but it is exactly the existing conditions that one objects to, and any scheme that could accept these conditions is wrong and foolish.

Stephen miller said, "over time you would cut net migration in half, which polling shows is supported overwhelmingly by the american people in a very large number." this is why donald trump got elected.

It is madness. and if you don't know who you are, or if your real self has drifted away from you with the undertow, madness at least gives you an identity. it's the same with self-loathing. you're probably just normal and normal-looking but that's not a real identity, not the way ugliness is. normality, just accepting that you're probably normal-looking, lacks the force field of self-disgust. if you don't know who you are, madness gives you something to believe in.

In the renaissance, madness was present everywhere and mingled with every experience by its images or its dangers. during the classical period, madness was shown, but on the other side of bars; if present, it was at a distance, under the eyes of a reason that no longer felt any relation to it and that would not compromise itself by too close a resemblance. madness had become a thing to look at: no longer a monster inside oneself, but an animal with strange mechanisms, a bestiality from which man had long since been suppressed.

The spectacular landscape circling the fortress supplies an essential backdrop, inspiring dreamers to wander its ruins for the sake of it; north american tourists, bound down by their practical world view, are able to place those members of the disintegrating tribes they may have seen in their travels among these once-living walls, unaware of the moral distance separating them, since only the semi-indigenous spirit of the south american can grasp the subtle differences.
