Roland Barthes was in my dream the other night, drinking a beer and chatting. I was wearing a used overcoat; the pockets contained the passport of strangers.

That about sums up my late-mid semester psychology, I think.

"To the powerful, I can only repeat this question: ‘What would induce anyone, at this stage, to hold on to power, only to be remembered for their inability to take action when it was urgent and necessary to do so?’”

Go after it, Francis.
