"Why of course the people don't want war.
That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders
of the country who determine the policy, and
it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,
or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought
to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger. It works the same
in any country."
- Hermann Goering, Nazi Reichsmarshall,
during his Nuremberg war crimes trial

The Littlest Hobo by Ronald Stein

There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Down the road. That's where I'll always be.
Oh, every stop I make, I make a new friend.
Can't stay for long. Just turn around, and I'm gone again.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
So, if you want to join me for awhile,
just grab your hat, and we'll travel light. That's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down.
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on.
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.


San Diego Serenade by Tom Waits...

I never saw the morning `til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine `til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.
I never saw the white line, `til I was leaving you behind
I never knew I needed you `til I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke `I love you` `til I cursed you in vain,
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.
I never saw the east coast `til I move to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
I never saw your heart `til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.


Into The Wild

“It may, after all, be the bad habit of creative
talents to invest themselves in pathological extremes
that yield remarkable insights but no durable way of
life for those who cannot translate their psychic
wounds into significant art or thought”
(Theodore Roszak, ‘In search of the miraculous’)

"[A]voidance behaviour is a response designed to
protect the infant from behavioural disorganization.
If we transfer this concept to adult life, we can see
that an avoidant infant might very well develop into a
person whose principal need was to find some kind of
meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or
even chiefly, dependant on interpersonal relationships.”
(Anthony Storr, ‘Solitude: A return to the self’)

“Even from your scant description, I know that I could
not bear the routine and humdrum of the life that you
are forced to lead. I don’t think I could ever settle
down. I have known too much of the depths of life
already, and I would prefer anything to an
anticlimax.” (last letter from Everett Ruess, 1934)

“It is true that many creative people fail to make mature personal relationships, and some are extremely isolated. It is also true that, in some instances, trauma, in the shape of early separation or bereavement, has steered the potentially creative person toward developing aspects of his personality and which can find fulfillment in comparative isolation. But this does not mean the solitary, creative pursuits are themselves pathological…”

Never stop.
As soon as an environment has become like you,
or you like your environment,
it is no longer any use to you.
Then you must leave it.
Nothing is more dangerous to you
than your family,
your room,
your past.’
Gide, 'Fruits of the Earth'
