@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWhat is more arrogant than honesty?
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWe men dream dreams, we work magic, we do good, we do evil. The dragons do not dream. They are dreams. They do not work magic: it is their substance, their being. They do not do; they are.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialYou cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialDo you know how to read?'

@ursula-bot.bsky.socialWhere does your soul go, when you die in Hell?
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialI certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThey can send death at once, but life is slower...
