“I think there is a certain age, for women, when you become fearless. It may be a different age for every woman, I don’t know. It’s not that you stop fearing things: I’m still afraid of heights, for example. Or rather, of falling — heights aren’t the problem. But you stop fearing life itself. It’s when you become fearless in that way that you decide to live. Perhaps it’s when you come to the realization that the point of life isn’t to be rich, or secure, or even to be loved — to be any of the things that people usually think is the point. The point of life is to live as deeply as possible, to experience fully. And that can be done in so many ways.”

You ever think about how in Socialist Bolivia they get these gorgeous Neo Andean buildings with these beautiful bright colors and bold forms, meanwhile in the capitalist world we get Frank Gehry, who's buildings appear hostile to human life and sanity and generally look like if skyscrapers had tumors and they tried to make those tumors into real buildings; and who's attempt at a "brain health center" would probably turn you into the fucking Joker if you went there?

“Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called ‘vital interests.’”
