Speaking of paranoia, it’s true that I do not know exactly who my enemies are. But that of course is exactly why I’m paranoid  (Edward Abbey Quotes) Ah yes, the head is full of books. The hard part is to force them down through the bloodstream and out through the fingers  (Edward Abbey Quotes) I am hopeful, though not full of hope, and the only reason I don’t believe in happy endings is because I don’t believe in endings  (Edward Abbey Quotes) If it’s knowledge and wisdom you want, then seek out the company of those who do real work for an honest purpose  (Edward Abbey Quotes) Anarchism?
