Most of the laugh tracks on television were recorded in the early 1950__. These days, most of the people you hear laughing are dead.

I am who I am because the tears of my past have watered the magnificence of my present.

It's my petty fear of personal rejection that allows so many true evils to exist. My cowardice enables atrocities.

Times of terror and the deepest misery may arrive, but if there is to be any happiness in this misery it can only be a spiritual happiness, related to the past in the rescue of the culture of early ages and to the future in a serene and indefatigable championship of the spirit in a time which would otherwise completely swallow up the material.

It's obsequious little nicety-nice girls like me who allow assholes to run the world: Miss Harlot O'Harlots, billionaire phony tree huggers, hypocrite drug-snorting, weed-puffing peace activists who fund the mass-murdering drug cartels and perpetuate crushing poverty in dirt-poor banana republics. It's my petty fear of personal rejection that allows so many true evils to exist. My cowardice enables atrocities.

History is filled with brilliant people who wanted to fix things and just made them worse.
