"Man fixes some wonderful erection of his own between himself and the wild chaos, and gradually goes bleached and stifled under his parasol. Then comes a poet, enemy of convention, and makes a slit in the umbrella; and lo! the glimpse of chaos is a vision, a window to the sun."
-- D. H. Lawrence
"I feel something when I think about values and quotations; I get a connection between my thinking brain and my emotional brain... and it spurs me on to laugh, to tear up, to act. Just a few words, such as: "Give me liberty or give me death!" for many of us has the same effect on the mind (in the right circumstance) as a naked body does for the sexual impulse."
