We were talking about this word aware, which on the page looks like "aware," which speaks to both the pain and the beauty of our lives.

But words empower us, move us beyond our suffering, and set us free. This is the sorcery of literature. We are healed by our stories.

If the hammer and head of the nail were infinitely big, if would be just the same; the point of the nail would transmit this infinite shock at the point to which it was applied. Extreme affliction, which means physical pain, distress of the soul, and social degradation all at the same time, is a nail whose point is applied at the very center of the soul, whose head is all necessity, spreading throughout space and time

Of all the nonsense that twists the world, the concept of 'altruism' is the worst. People do what they want to, every time.
