[corpuscontrary]

Concepts, like individuals, have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood. (Kierkegaard 1965)

History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, and if faced
With courage, need not be lived again. (Maya Angelou)

I swear to the Lord
I still can't see
Why Democracy means
Everybody but me. (Langston Hughes)
