Women ! What can you say? Who made ‘em? God must have been a fuckin’ genius. The hair – They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls… and just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips – and when they touched, yours were like… that first swallow of wine… after you just crossed the desert. Tits ! Whoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya… Like secret searchlights. Mmm. And legs – I don’t care if they’re Greek columns… or secondhand Steinways. What’s between 'em, passport to heaven.

It’s one thing to want to change the way people live, but you want to change how they think, how they feel. Either way, it’s dangerous. It’s against Rome. It’s against the way the world is. And killing or loving, it’s all the same. It simply doesn’t matter how you want to change things – we don’t want them changed.

Position and positioning  
Are socially conditioning  
How you’re born, how you’re bred  
Predetermine who you wed  
Which means there’s nothing changeable  
Nothing’s rearrangable;  
Position and positioning are everything in life

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
