"Once I thought that to be human was the highest aim a man could have, but I see now that it was meant to destroy me. Today I am proud to say that I am inhuman, that I belong not to men and governments, that I have nothing to do with creeds. I have nothing to do with the creaking machinery of humanity--I belong to the earth! I say that lying on my pillow, and I can feel the horns sprouting from my temples."
-Henry Miller, "Tropic of Cancer"
A quote from Carl Hiaasen's "Stormy Weather" if anybody cares.
