“The Odyssey is the story of motion both purposeful and purposeless, successful and futile. What else is the history of law?”

“I reread the Odyssey at that time, which I had first read in school and remembered as a story of a homecoming.But it is not a story of a homecoming. How could the Greeks who knew that one never enters the same river twice, believe in homecoming? Odysseus does not return home to stay, but to set off again. The Odyssey is the story of motion both purposeful and purposeless, successful and futile.”

“Much of what we call History is the success stories of madmen.”

“What the hell? Futility has its purposes in life." -- Talon.”

“We’re set in motion and then we spend our lives maintaining that motion, but to what end? For what purpose?”

“All change...arises from an underlying collapse into chaos...what may appear to us to be motive and purpose is in fact ultimately motiveless, purposeless decay.”
