If somebody asked me to design a religion
I would make it all about snow.
No good or evil and no suffering.
Just perfect crystals spinning
In ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy.

Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible. 
Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. 
Thought is great and swift and free.

Observation collects facts; 
reflection combines them; 
experimentation verifies the result of that combination.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, 
and strong is its current; 
no sooner is a thing brought to sight 
than it is swept by 
and another takes its place, 
and this too will be swept away.

and deny you your humanity, 
or are you going to be able to make use of the system 
to the attainment of human purposes?

which changes people, 
does not alter the image 
we have retained of them.

that a man can die 
and yet not only live in others 
but give them life, 
and not only life, 
but that great consciousness of life.
