• The more repression there is, the more need there is for irreverence toward those who are responsible for that repression. But too often sarcasm passes for irony, name-calling passes for insight, bleeped-out four-letter words pass for wit, and lowest-common-denominator jokes pass for analysis.

It had started on the day they'd clung to his glass box and kissed in the sea, and now it must go on forever. He felt certain of this.
