Edward Abbey
“I'm a humanist; I'd rather kill a man than a snake.”
Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness

“Celebrity is money with a human face, the 'pegs' and 'loops' on which to hang the dream of riches." --"Domesticated Deities, " TomDispatch.com, 12/13/10”
Lewis Lapham

“As the habits of mind beholden to the rule of images come to replace the structures of thought derived from the meaning of words, the constant viewer eliminates the association of cause with effect, learns that nothing necessarily follows from anything else." --Domesticated Deities," TomDispatch.com 12/13/10”
Lewis Lapham

Edward Hoagland
“I don't rule out suicide as being unthinkable for people who have tried to live full lives; and don't regard it as negating the wish and faith and satisfaction and fun and even ecstasy they may have known before. In killing himself a person acknowledges his failures during a time span when perhaps heaven and earth had caught him like a pair of scissors--but doesn't repudiate his life span. Man is different from animals in that he speculates, a high-risk activity.”
Edward Hoagland, Tigers & Ice: Reflections on Nature and Life

Theodor W. Adorno
“No universal history leads from savagery to humanitarianism, but there is one leading from the slingshot to the atomic bomb.”
Theodor W. Adorno
