"Personally, folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would have given you the right to have some food every day, and he would have given you the right to a roof over your head. God would have been looking out for you. You know that? He wouldn’t have been worrying about making sure you have a gun so you can get drunk on Sunday night and kill your girlfriend’s parents."
-George Carlin
"All you have to do is look at Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Kashmir, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the World Trade Center to see how seriously religious folk take 'thou shalt not kill'. The more devout they are, the more they see murder as being negotiable. It depends on who's doing the killing and who's getting killed."

A Happy Birthday
This evening, I sat by an open window
And read till the light was gone and the book
Was no more than a part of the darkness.
I could easily have switched on a lamp,
But I wanted to ride this day down into night,
To sit alone and smooth the unreadable page
With the pale gray ghost of my hand.

He felt that although his father loved their home and loved all of them, he was more lonely than the contentment of this family love could help; that it even increased his loneliness, or made it hard for him not to be lonely.
James Agee, A Death in the Family
I understand this kind of loneliness.

"If [Scarlett] knew little about men's minds, she knew even less about the minds of women, for they interested her less. She had never had a girl friend, and she never felt any lack on that account. To her, all women, including her two sisters, were natural enemies in pursuit of the same prey -- man."
"As usual in the very young, she marveled that people could be so selfishly oblivious to her pain and the world rock along just the same, in spite of her heartbreak."
-Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind

Winston Churchill had been drinking heavily at a party when he bumped into Bessie Braddock, a Socialist Member of Parliament.
“Mr. Churchill, you are drunk,” Braddock said harshly.
Churchill paused and said, “And Bessie, you are ugly. You are very ugly. I’ll be sober in the morning.”
