The great task of our time is to blow up all existing institutions to destroy.

HENRIK IBSEN

Fools Freedom Intelligence Lying Majority People Population Right

A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there’s no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it’s an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
