-- Mary Catherine Bateson

Until they are both gone from office, we are in grave danger the kind of danger that only torturers and fantasists and a security strategy based on coerced evidence can conjure up.”
“I loved love til' it resented me, and if it's still a stranger then I love who it pretends to be.”
