To Rescue Our Children We Will Have To Let Them Save Us From The Power We Embody: We Will Have To Trust The Very Difference That They Forever Personify. And We Will Have To Allow Them The Choice, Without Fear Of Death: That They May Come And Do Likewise Or That They May Come And That We Will Follow Them, That A Little Child Will Lead Us Back To The Child We Will Always Be, Vulnerable And Wanting And Hurting For Love And For Beauty.

Tyranny
... If Your Heart And Your Honest Body Can Be Controlled By The State, Or Controlled By Community Taboo, Are You Not Then, And In That Case, No More Than A Slave Ruled By Outside Force? What Tyranny Could Exceed A Tyranny That Dictates To The Human Heart, And That Attempts To Dictate The Public Career Of An Honest Human Body?
