"History Does Not Repeat Itself. Stupidity Does." "War Is Just Organized Panic." "I live in Utopia. She works on my reality form." "Marriage Formalizes What Desire Cannot Sustain Alone." "I Take Steps To Avoid It, But Stairs Are Always Up To Something."For readers who like their wit dark, their ideas dense, and their truths uncomfortable.
