“I am so tired - so tired of being of being whirled on through all these phases of my life, in which nothing abides by me, no creature, no place; it is like the circle in which the victims of earthly passion eddy continually.”

“The dead do not need
aspirin or
sorrow,
I suppose.
but they might need
rain.
not shoes
but a place to
walk.
not cigarettes,
they tell us,
but a place to
burn.
or we're told:
space and a place to
fly
might be the
same.
the dead don't need
me.
nor do the
living.
but the dead might need
each
other.
in fact, the dead might need
everything we
need
and
we need so much
if we only knew
what it
was.
it is
probably
everything
and we will all
probably die
trying to get
it
or die
because we
don't get
it.
I hope
you will understand
when I am dead
I got
as much
as
possible.”
― The Roominghouse Madrigals: Early Selected Poems, 1946-1966

“Obviously, a lot of people involved with Volkswagen's emissions were aware of the diesel car software cheat. One has to wonder how many of them tried to stop it and perhaps were demoted or lost their jobs over trying to prevent the secret Volkswagen car emissions fraud?”

“To do what you say, it's about respect I respect you, you respect me.... Did you heard GreenHollyWood, you gave me movies didn't you??

“The survivor spoke to us though, or tried to. Mumbling through that matted brown beard of his, pale as death itself. I can鈥檛 say now if it was weakness from his wounds or what it was 鈥� but we struggled to understand him. In fact we got nothing intelligible from him at all then. He seemed afraid, like any dying man probably would be, but he did seem more terrified than any dying man I鈥檝e seen before 鈥� and I鈥檝e seen a few in my time. Let me tell you, Corsair or not, he grabbed whatever hand would hold his, and clenched it so tight his knuckles turned white! He kept fading out as we carried him on the stretcher board the medics brought with them. Looking back, I think he tried to warn us, poor bastard. He tried to tell us to leave him behind and go, but we wouldn鈥檛 listen. We thought we were better than the Corsairs, remember? We thought we would be all moral and upright and try to help him. 鈥楧on鈥檛 say I didn鈥檛 warn you.鈥� were the last words he said before losing consciousness. At least, those that we could make out. At the end of it all, he was right 鈥� as it turned out, we couldn鈥檛 even help ourselves.”
