Sometimes I Panic And Think I Can't

My Parents Were Liberal Intellectuals But Even They Expected Me To Stay At Home And Look After My Younger Siblings And Do The Housework.

I Was Reading Raymond Chandler Very Much With The Feminist Eye. In Six Of His Seven Novels, It's The Woman Who Presents Herself In A Sexual Way, Who Is The Main Bad Person. And Then You Start Reading More Fiction, Whether Crime Fiction Or Straight Fiction, It's Just Bad Girls Trying To Make Good Boys Do Bad Things, Going All The Way Back To Adam And Eve. The Woman That Thou Gavest Me Made Me Do It, Adam Says To God.

Sometimes Life Seems So Painful It Hurts Even To Move My Arms.

If I Were Elected President, The First Thing I Would Do Would Be To Set Up A Department Of Restoring The Bill Of Rights. I Would Have 10,000 People Working There.

I Look At The Great Poets Of The Soviet Union, Like Anna Akhmatova, Who Endured Far Worse Then Anything We've Seen Or Hopefully That We Will Ever See. If They Could Keep Writing And Keep A Voice Alive, Keep People Hopeful Through Their Poetry, Then I Would Be Ashamed To Stop And To Give In. It Would Be Really Self-indulgent, Unacceptable, And Inexcusable To Walk Away From It.
