Pyrrhic Victory--
a victory that is won by incurring terrible losses
"At the moment of death, I hope to be surprised." ~Ivan Illich
"The sorrow which has no vent in tears may make other organs weep."
-- Henry Maudsley
"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on Earth."
-- Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day."
-- William Adams
"It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people."
"Life is a sexually transmitted disease..." ~R.D. Lang
"This black boot has no mercy for anybody./ Why should it, it is a hearse of a dead foot," ~Sylvia Plath
"Every poem is fufilled at the poet's expense..." ~Octavio Paz
