Life is such unutterable hell, solely because it is sometimes beautiful. If we could only be miserable all the time, if there could be no such things as love or beauty or faith or hope, if I could be absolutely certain that my love would never be returned: how much more simple life would be. One could plod through the Siberian salt mines of existence without being bothered about happiness. ↗

The dichotomy between personal liberties and property rights is a false one. Property does not have rights. People have rights. ↗

What a dichotomy. What conflicting ideas that we love and embrace these women, and entrust them to raise our children and to feed us and to bathe us, but we keep something as silly as a bathroom separate. ↗

That dichotomy between the public consumption of the work and my intent and practice in making it is an uneasy one for me, on occasion. ↗
