The most pleasurable journey you take is through yourself ... the only sustaining love involvement is with yourself.... When you look back on your life and try to figure out where you've been and where you're going, when you look at your work, your love affairs, your marriages, your children, your pain, your happiness - when you examine all that closely, what you really find out is that the only person you really go to bed with is yourself.... The only thing you have is working to the consummation of your own identity. And that's what I've been trying to do all my life. - Shirley MacLaine
It is vain, O men, that you seek within yourselves the cure for your miseries. All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. - Blaise Pascal

It was a glorious Easter Sunday, the spring sun sparkling and warm, the air fresh and sweet. Too nice a day to spend in prison, but that's where I was bound.
