Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think for the foreseeable future we have to disabuse ourselves of any ideas of unifying, or coming together, or all getting along.

Steve Erickson

We have met the enemy and have learned nothing more about him. I have, however, learned some things about myself. There are things men can do to one another that are sobering to the soul. It is one thing to reconcile these things with God, but another to square it with yourself.
