  Bates every city upon the say.

  With charmin' pisintry upon a fruitful sod,
  Fightin' like devils for conciliation,
  And hatin' each other for the Love of God.

• The visual can seduce you, leading to false deductions, and ultimately, even the finest ideas can be reduced. Take for example, sexuality.

He was not your typical image of somebody that you would think would be the tough guy who was able to endure. His lighthearted attitude, this sort of dorkiness, and naivete; it ended up being the finest tool for his survival.
