To write is human$$$ to edit is divine.

But now$$$ my dear$$$ we are here$$$ we are now$$$ and those other times are running elsewhere.

Nobody likes a clown at midnight.

You did not so much mind being - conventionally - betrayed$$$ if you were not kept in the dark$$$ which was humiliating$$$ or defined only as a wife and dependent person$$$ which was annihilating.

Your flesh is killing your spirit.

Intelligence is ongoing$$$ individual adaptability. Adaptations that an intelligent species may make in a single generation$$$ other species make over many generations of selective breeding and selective dying.

No matter what happens$$$ somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

Yes$$$ he said$$$ "intelligence does enable you to deny facts you dislike."

My lot is that I must be the first decent human being.

If you work hard enough at something that doesn't matter$$$ you can forget for a while about the things that do.
