I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so
What I have been telling you, from alpha to omega, what is the one great thing the sigil taught me — that everything in life is miraculous. For the sigil taught me that it rests within the power of each of us to awaken at will from a dragging nightmare of life made up of unimportant tasks and tedious useless little habits, to see life as it really is, and to rejoice in its exquisite wonderfulness.

I was bad today. I needed to get things done and I didn�t. tomorrow I will force myself to go to the DMV, the lawyer said it was important.

The only good thing that happened today was helping Stacey with her math. That was my only real human contact. That�s probably why I�m having trouble writing tonight.
I know I�ll write a to do list for tomorrow and then see if I can follow through on it.
- Call WFUV and tell them I�m volunteering on the one day drive.
- Remind Jeanine that I need tickets for FRFF
- Go to the DMV and get what I need
- Call lawyer and make appointment to see him.
That should give me something to write about tomorrow. On Thursday I�m going to Newark Airport to meet Nitsa. It�s a blast from the past, just like when I met Carey for the first time.
I read The Wall Today but didn�t find anything quotable out of context so I�ll go back to Bartlett�s. Today�s is by H.L. Mencken:
The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
I signed the Pro-Truth Pledge:
please hold me accountable.
