A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.

There's not alcoholic in the world who wants to be told what to do. Alcoholics are sometimes described as egomaniacs with inferiority complexes. Or, to be cruder, a piece of shit that the universe revolves around.

These are the soul&#39;s changes. I don&#39;t believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one&#39;s aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.

We carry the dead with us only until we die too, and then it is we who are borne along for a little while, and then our bearers in their turn drop, and so on into the unimaginable generations.
