We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.

Man's nature, originally good and common to all, should develop unhampered.
Our culture encourages women to nurture men, making it predictable that many experience a seductive empathy for abusive men, as well as the misguided hope that love can obliterate an ugly past.
It's in our nature. We need to explore and find out what's going on outside of who we are.
I think we learn the most from imperfect relationships - things like forgiveness and compassion.
Innately, there are qualities in human beings that are always repetitive. There are things like love and hate and jealousy that are just going to be there forever.
The rare pleasure of being seen for what one is, compensates for the misery of being it.

I'm trying to get at something a little transcendent between humans. But at the same time, there's all that baggage: What's beautiful about humans is what's balanced by what's kind of ugly and petty and depressing.
We have, of course, long since ceased to think of Nature as the sympathetic mirror of our moods, or to imagine that she has any concern with the temporal affairs of man.
We all find joy and radiance and a reason to move on even in the most dire of circumstances. Even in chaos and madness, there's still a beauty that comes from just the vibrancy of another human spirit.
