Also, here is another quote, not necessarily related to this quote, but one I found and love:<br />"...there is always a sanctuary more, a door that can never be forced whatever the force; a last inviolable stronghold that cannot be taken, whatever the attack. Your vote can be taken, your name, your innards, even your life. But that last stronghold can only be surrendered--and to surrender it for any reason other than love is to surrender love..." <br />(Ken Kesey, "Sometimes a Great Notion")<br />-Blake O.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
