“Just like the myth of the people’s or popular capitalism, which was propagated since the mid1950s in the countries to the west of Berlin Wall, to the east and the north of it, since the same time it was introduced the myth of the people’s or popular socialism. But the suggestion is always the same. Under any “people’s” power—from people’s capitalism to people’s socialism—the greatest illusion suggested to the oppressed classes is that the people are sovereign, i.e., that all the people dominate over themselves. In this respect, even John Kenneth Galbraith makes Marxist conclusions, which even in the Internet epoch have the same power: “Young people are suggested that in a democracy the entire power belongs to the people!” (“The Anatomy of Power”)
Yet, old people know that this is not true!”

“We are, all four of us, blood relatives, and we speak a kind of esoteric, family language, a sort of semantic geometry in which the shortest distance between any two points is a fullish circle.”

“You are not your resume, your neighborhood, your grades, your mis-takes, your body, your roles or titles. All these things are not you because they are change-able. There is a part of you that is indefinable and changeless, that does not get lost or change with age, disease, or circumstances.
There is an authenticity you were born with, have lived with, and will die with. You are simply, wonder-fully, you.”

“Life's scientific, but we don't know, do we? Not certainly, I mean.”
