In the modern world, all literary art is necessarily political -- especially that which pretends not to be.
Edward Abbey
Image
Passion, sexual passion, may lead to marriage, but cannot sustain marriage. The purpose of marriage is the raising of children, for which patience, not passion, is the necessary foundation.
Edward Abbey
Image
Balance, that's the secret. Moderate extremism. The best of both worlds.
Edward Abbey
Image
The only thing worse than a knee-jerk liberal is a knee-pad conservative.
Edward Abbey

If it's knowledge and wisdom you want, then seek out the company of those who do real work for an honest purpose.
