Something I saw and liked

Free love?
As if love is anything but free!
Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love.
Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love.
Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love.
Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love.
High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by.
And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color.
Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king.
Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere.

Emma Goldman.

wow! why is that everyone does a blog template overhaul much better than i can?? this is absolutely lovely and so seems you exactly, i

don't know why, but it does. spiffy!

did you know that emma goldman was a firebrand feminist? just wondering! but what she does say is true. all the money in the world

may make you comfortable but it won't make you happy and content if you don't have love.
