Hat er den automatiske reaksjonen på frykt, for frykten virker ydmykende.

Murder may be messy, but truth is messier.

Not all deaths are equal. There's a caste system even in murder. The stabbing of an impoverished rickshaw-puller is nothing more than a statistic, burried in the inside pages of the newspaper. But the murder of a celebrity instantly becomes headline news. Because the rich and famous rarely get murdered. They lead five-star lives and, unless they overdose on cocain or meet with a freak accident, generally die a five-star death at a nice grey age, having a agumented both lineage and lucre.

We are all so used to being controlled to our disadvantage that to call a person harmless is to imply that he is totally ineffective or feeble-minded.

To say that all control is manipulative and hence wrong is to overlook important uses in education, psychotherapy, government, and elsewhere.

This was undoubtedly an impudent and young man, but like most elderly spinsters she had a soft corner for the impudent and young.

And so you see it is love-not scorn, not malice; only love-that makes me harm her, in the end.
