“Men seek for vocabularies that are reflections of reality. To this end, they must develop vocabularies that are selections of reality. And any selection of reality must, in certain circumstances, function as a deflection of reality.”

And my drink in the other
What more could I want

But fame,
Better health,
And ten million dollars?”
