Antoine de Saint-Exupery, “The Little Prince”
- One must command from each what each can perform. Authority is based first of all upon reason. If you command your subjects to jump into the ocean, there will be a revolution. I am entitled to command obedience because my orders are reasonable.
- Then my sunset?
- You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But I shall wait, according to my science of government, until conditions are favorable.

Life is better when your sinuses are clean...Joy acts like a trampoline, everything that touches...We must vote for hope, vote for life...The making of friends who are real friends...I don't write on topics that require a lot of urgency...We cannot be sure of having something to live...
