You don't realize how language actually interferes with communication until you don't have it, how it gets in the way like an overdominant sense.

The individual disappeared, the features were obliterated, whether young or senile, beautiful or ugly - those were mere unimportant variations. Behind each woman rises the austere, sacred and mysterious face of Aphrodite.

Let's take back the rainbow for God. Let the homosexual community find a different religious symbol to commandeer. . . What I want is for the Christian community to wake up, wipe the sleep from their eyes, and realize that they are in a spiritual battle that isn't going away and has no demilitarized zones.
