Here's how the people live here, in big house-shaped boxes to keep off 'rain' and 'snow,' holes cut in the sides so they can see out. They move around in smaller boxes, painted different colours, with wheels on the corners. They need this box-culture because each person thinks of herself and himself as locked in a box called a 'body,' arms and legs, fingers to move pencils and tools, languages because they've forgotten how to communicate, eyes because they've forgotten how to see. Odd little planet. Wish you were here. Home soon.

Misers are very kind people: they amass wealth for those who wish their death.

Newton was solitary and reclusive, even vain and vindictive in his later years when he was president of the society.

If this readiness is there, the discussion wrighteous stupidityill be the more fruitful the more the partner's backgrounds differ.

I wish that people would take the time to show people that they are important in their lives, either at work, or at home.
