So many selves (cummings)

so many selves(so many fiends and gods
each greedier than every)is a man
(so easily one in another hides;
yet man can,being all,escape from none)

e. e. cummings

You can do everything without perspective

The most sacred word
is secular.

Better

It is better to sustain than to resurrect.

K. J. Bishop, The Etched City
