clever hate heart
There's a truth deeper than experience. It's beyond what we see, or even what we feel. It's an order of truth that separates the profound from the merely clever, and the reality from the perception.

It doesn't always help us to love the world, but it does prevent us from hating the world.

Somehow, the jails ended up full of poor black people. Howard Zinn
