Tony Kushner
“I just wondered what a thing it would be...if overnight everything you owe anything to, justice, or love, had really gone away. Free.

It would be...heartless terror. Yes. Terrible, and...

Very great. To shed your skin, every old skin, one by one and then walk away, unemcumbered, into the morning.”
Tony Kushner, Millennium Approaches

Kabir
“If you don't break your ropes while you're alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?”
Kabir
