“Thomas Wolfe said that going home again is like stepping into a river. You cannot step into the same river twice; you cannot go home again. After a very long time away, you will not find the same home you left behind. It will be different, and so will you. It is quite possible that home will not be home at all, meaningless except for its sentimental place in your heart. At best it will point the long way back to where you started, its value lying in how it helped to shape you and in the part of home you have carried away.”
- From 'Native Stranger' by Eddy L. Harris

“Man now realizes that he is an accident, that he is a completely futile being, that he has to play out the game without purpose, other than of his own choosing.” On another occasion, he remarked: “We are born and we die and there’s nothing else. We’re just part of animal life.”
Francis Bacon

“as Darwin himself said, that great as is the physical unlikeness of the various races of men their likenesses are greater, and upon this rests the whole scientific doctrine of Human Brotherhood”

One thing I love about “Freaks and Geeks” is that it understands how much pop culture means to teenagers — whether they’re comedy geeks or sci-fi geeks or heavy-metal geeks or Dungeons and Dragons geeks. Pop culture is not just about entertainment; it’s also about identity and community, finding your people.

But I'm not hurt, nor even very interested, when some bunch of kids playing at being political take their clothes off as a part of growing up. I admit to being slightly depressed that even in 2016 it seems to them to be somehow a dramatic or radical thing to do.
...my theme would be that nakedness is entirely trivial or incidental when people behave naturally. That means being clothed to keep warm or to be pretty or to do a job or to be polite by concealing ugliness from others, and taking their clothes off when it's appropriate to do so for bed or sport or swimming or when it's hot as the Greeks and Romans did. But it's pernicious, evil even, when there is an attempt by anyone (eg some sex-starved old man like the Catholic Pope or a crazed ideologues like a mad Moslem priest or the moralising Protestants of the Reformation) to lay down rules about when other people should cover and uncover their bodies. Most of them seem to be motivated by sexism anyway; men bossing women about. It's none of their goddam business.
