What they said

“Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Back, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.” Charles Bukowski

“Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.” Erich Fromm

'Doesn't matter what you do, you always get John McCain." Douglas Macgregor talking about the putative US war against Venezuela.

"The most powerful country in the world." Max Blumenthal talking this weekend about Israel. (He said something like "nobody can believe Epstein acting alone had more power than the most powerful country in the world, Israel." It now occurs to me to wonder if he might have meant the USA not Israel, but he knew what he was doing.)
