Book cover for The Tangled Lands
We’re caught in Halizak’s Prison, for certain.”
Shawn
I like this idea that the more we struggle against our predicament, the more entangled in it we become. We have the technology to fight climate change, but it requires energy, lots of energy, the very thing that has gotten us into the this predicament in the first place.

Leo Tolstoy
“Never had I heard from my elders that what I thus did was bad. It is true that there are the ten commandments of the Bible; but the commandments are made only to be recited before the priests at examinations, and even then are not as exacting as the commandments in regard to the use of ut in conditional propositions.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata

Leo Tolstoy
“As soon as a young man advances toward a woman, directly he falls under the influence of this opium, and loses his head. Long ago I felt ill at ease when I saw a woman too well adorned,—whether a woman of the people with her red neckerchief and her looped skirt, or a woman of our own society in her ball-room dress. But now it simply terrifies me. I see in it a danger to men, something contrary to the laws; and I feel a desire to call a policeman, to appeal for defence from some quarter, to demand that this dangerous object be removed.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata

Leo Tolstoy
“The main thing, and the thing which such people as he do not understand," rejoined the lady, "is that only love consecrates marriage, and that the real marriage is that which is consecrated by love.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata

Leo Tolstoy
“Ah! you wish us to be only objects of sensuality? All right; by the aid of sensuality we will bend you beneath our yoke,' say the woman.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata

“Bathed in perspiration he worked like a bull, turning over with a shovel the chalk and the clay which was to become cement. This brute strength of his came not through his intelligence but from the profundities of his strong body; it did not explode within him but flowed out of him in great waves through the thunder of the earth, across the stones and the rails, from this enormous ant-like crowd who with shouting and moaning were rising from the depths with spades and hammers, emerged from smoke-stacks and the factory buildings , from the breaches quarried from the rocks, from the smoky depths up toward the obelisks supporting the power-cables.”
Fyodor Vasilievich Gladkov
