Happy July Fourth, All!
"Freedom - to walk free and own no superior."
-Walt Whitman
"There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance."
-another from Walt Whitman
"The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem."
-Walt Whitman (sakurazukakami, this should totes be the epigraph to our movie. Not the slasher one. The other one.)
"The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people."
-Walt Whitman (yet again)
"The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it."
-Guess Who?
And a fitting suggestion on how to celebrate today:
"I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers."
-Walt Whitman (who clearly always knows best)
