Whatever happens, I shall never be alone,
I shall always have a fare, an affair, or a revolution.
--
'The Uncreating Chaos" — This poem was originally published in Poems (1933) where it reads: Whatever happens, I shall never be alone. I shall always have a boy, a railway fare, or a revolution.

When you're a student or whatever, and you can't afford a car, or a plane fare, or even a train fare, all you can do is hope that someone will stop and pick you up.
At the moment we can't afford to go to other planets. We don't have the ships to take us there. There may be other people out there (I don't have any opinions about Life Out There, I just don't know) but it's nice to think that one could, even here and now, be whisked away just by hitchhiking.

 

Douglas Adams

 

Conductor, when you receive a fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare:
A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

Chorus: Punch, brothers, punch with care!
Punch in the presence of the passenjare.

Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens

 

Ee quello che volesse fare Parlamento sar? de' Signori, gli sia tagliato il capo; se ? altri, sia ribelle e confiscatigli tutti i beni ... che quando i Signori vogliono fare Parlamento ... e ognuno li possa tagliare a pezzi senza pena.

 

Girolamo Savonarola

 

As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760–1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington.
