I find in working always the disturbing intrusion of elements not a part of my most interested vision and the inevitable obliteration and replacement of this vision by the work itself as it proceeds.

The humanists' replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you'll either save yourself or you'll be immortal. Of course that's a total joke and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there's no ethical progress whatsoever.

I didn't wake up one morning and not be in the Replacements. We're all that forever and I've just grown older. I mean I haven't lost anything. I've gained a few things.

Europe which gave us the idea of same-sex marriage is a dying society with birthrates 50 percent below replacement.

Each State has its own health insurance mandates and some of them are good but there are about 1 800 of them all across the Nation including provisions for acupuncturists massage therapists and hair replacements.

At issue was the question whether this man's faith could prevail against a man whose equal faith it was that this society is sick beyond saving and that mercy itself pleads for its swift extinction and replacement by another.

What creates freedom? A revolution in the streets? Mass protest? Civil war? A change of government? The ousting of the old guard and its replacement by the new? History more often than not shows that hopes raised by such events are often dashed sooner rather than later.
