“The police have no leads as yet on the person or persons who painted obscene suggestions on the buildings. One store owner said he was going to leave a dictionary on a public bench so the vandals could at least spell the obscenities correctly.”

“It is not then the existence or the non-existence, of the persons that I trouble myself about; it is the fable of Jesus Christ, as told in the New Testament, and the wild and visionary doctrine raised thereon, against which I contend.

“I don't buy into the notion of 'privilege' at all. To even attempt to brand and shame whole swathes of people based on their race or gender is, to me, obscene.

“I may be here
in my study alone as God
when your perfume invades me
and everything becomes charged
All that is holy and obscene
between life and life
brims with possibility and potential
To love and be loved
is to plant a tree for shade
and find it also bears fruit
I would be King
were this a world where
the currency
was love”
