You Cannot Survive If You Do Not

Whether It Comes From A Despotic Sovereign Or An Elected President, From A Murderous General Or A Beloved Leader, I See Power As An Inhuman And Hateful Phenomen. To The Same Degree That I Do Not Understand Power, I Do Understand Those Who Oppose Power, Who Criticize Power, Who Contest Power, Especially Those Who Rebel Against Power Imposed By Brutality.

To Be Good Or Bad Doesn't Count: Life Out In This World Doesn't Depend On That. It Depends On A Relation Of Forces Based On Violence. And Survival Is Violence. You'll Wear Leather Shoes Because Someone Has Killed A Cow And Skinned It To Make Leather.

And She Said, 'the Problem Is Not In The Problems I Have, It's In The Idiots Around Me. Democracy, You Know...' I Now Wonder What She Meant By That Unfinished Phrase.

I Don't Want To Hear About My Death.

I Leave Shreds Of My Soul On Every Experience.
