"People say to the mentally ill, â€˜You know so many people think the world of you.â€™ But when they donâ€™t like themselves they donâ€™t notice anything. They donâ€™t care about what people think of them. When you hate yourself, whatever people say it doesnâ€™t make sense. â€˜Why do they like me? Why do they care about me?â€™ Because you donâ€™t care about yourself at all."

-- Richey Edwards

Society, on the other hand, has no obligation toward the poet. A majority by definition, society thinks of itself as having other options than reading verses, no matter how well written. Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.”

“There is nothing," says a correspondent of the New York Times, "which the business world discards as unpractical and useless so much as the quiet, thinking scholar. But this is the man who makes revolutions. Politicians are mere puppets in the hands of men of thought.”
“Britain, with the most completely socialized health system in the West, now spends the lowest fraction of GNP on health care of any major nation. There are frequent complaints of excessive waits for elective surgery and other inconveniences, but British citizens live slightly longer than Americans, on average, and our overall health conditions are comparable.”
