Excerpts,

"Better stop short than fill to the brim.
Oversharpen the blade, & the edge will soon blunt.
Amass a store of gold & jade, & no one can protect it.
Claim wealth & titles, & disaster will follow.
Retire when the work is done.
This is the way of heaven."

            – Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu

              It’s not that Joan Baez or the Beatles or Bob Dylan

              Berlin, Barbara in Paris, Fred Akerström & Cornelis
              Vreeswijk in Sweden, Ryoko Moriyama in Japan —
              it’s all the same universe of discourse, because it’s
              all the same audience listening to the same
              spokesmen speaking against the same evil & for the
              same good...

            crowned him the father of modern geography.

            "Choosing new masters is no solution at all. It is we
            anarchists, enemies of Christianity, who have to remind a

            words of the man whom they have made a God: 'Call no
