"Who could change the hearts of men?"

Henry Miller sez: “I never helped anyone expecting that it would do any good; I helped because I was helpless to do otherwise. To want to change the condition of affairs seemed futile to me; nothing would be altered, I was convinced, except by a change of heart, and who could change the hearts of men? Now and then a friend was converted: it was something to make me puke. I had no more need of God than He had of me, and if there were one, I often said to myself, I would meet Him calmly and spit in His face.”

(from Tropic of Capricorn)

Phil Ochs sez: “Even though you can’t expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That’s morality, that’s religion."
