Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earths surface relative to other matter second, telling other people to do so. – Bertrand Russell
Hell is oneself, hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections. There is nothing to escape from and nothing to escape to. One is always alone. – TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot
