Beware of anything that promises freedom or enlightenment – traps for eager and clever fools – a dog has a keener nose – every creature in a cave can justify himself. Three-fourths of philosophy and literature is the talk of people trying to convince themselves that they really like the cage they were tricked into entering.
Gary Snyder Quotes
I recalled when I worked in the woods and the bars of Madras, Oregon. That short-haired joy and roughness - America - your stupidity. I could almost love you again.
