I am not ashamed to use the word class. I will also plead guilty to another charge. The charge is that people belonging to my class think they’re better than other people. You’re damn right we’re better. We’re better because we do not shirk our obligations either to ourselves or to others... we live by our lights, we die by our lights, and whoever the high gods may be, we’ll look them in the eye without apology Picture Quote #1

We can redream this world and make the dream come real. Human beings are gods hidden from themselves Picture Quote #1

There is a kind of expressed love which is easy to subvert. When a figure is loved for their deeds, their conquests, their heroism, their goodness, their love of the people, these are easy enough to destroy... But there is a kind of love which is felt for apparently no reason... A love, inspired, it seems, by the gods, which it is impossible to fight, distort, destroy, or weaken. In fact, the attempts to destroy such loves only strengthen them. And to do nothing allows them to continue to grow at their natural pace, inexoribly, till this love becomes a wide and silent adoration Picture Quote #1

Isn’t man but a blossom taken by wind, and only the mountains and the sea and the stars and this land of the gods everlasting? Picture Quote #1

Let the warriors clamor after gods of blood and thunder; love is hard, harder than steel and thrice as cruel Picture Quote #1

Then I could not help wondering what the watching gods thought of us, with our clever masks and our jokes. What we think of crickets, perhaps, whose singing we hear with pleasure, though some of us smash them with our heels when they venture into sight Picture Quote #1
