Home Shores
“… the worst thing you can do to somebody is not to make her scream in agony but to use that agony in such a way that even when the agony is over, she cannot reconstitute herself… She becomes irrational not in the sense that she has lost contact with reality but in the sense that she can no longer rationalize—no longer justify herself to herself.”
—Richard Rorty, Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity
Feral People Overrun the Town like Hungry Cats
