Hiron Ennes
“Wherever we are, we want to be somewhere else.”
Hiron Ennes, Leech

Hiron Ennes
“When they talk to themselves, the ears that listen invariably belong to the mouth that speaks. They will never know the true sound of their own voices.”
Hiron Ennes, Leech

Hiron Ennes
“Of all the riches he possesses, the right to complain is his most treasured.”
Hiron Ennes, Leech

Hiron Ennes
“THE SUCCESS OF ANY parasite is proportional to its harmlessness. Some are intelligent; they avoid detection, allowing their carriers to lead healthy lives until obsolescence. Fewer, in brilliant acts of symbiosis, foster dependence in the host. But too many are loudmouths and fools, instigating aches, diarrhea, fatigue, bleeding, or other braggadocious symptoms. Most parasites cannot think far enough ahead to maintain the well-being of their host, much less their host’s entire species. Usually, such foresight is not necessary, unless humans are involved. They tend to hold grudges.”
Hiron Ennes, Leech

Ursula K. Le Guin
“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual,
only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can't lick 'em, join 'em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
