exile (Lauren Burka):
"You shall enjoy all the pleasures that Nature makes your duty; do not
withhold yourselves from one. Must the diviner part of mankind be kept in
chains by the other? Ah, break those bonds; Nature wills it. Have no
other curb than your tastes, no other laws than those of your own desires,
no more morality than that of Nature herself. Languish no more under those
barbarous prejudices that wither your charms and imprison the divine impulses
of your heart; you are as free as we are and the career of the battles of
Venus are as open to you as to us."
Donatien-Alphonse de Sade
"We all have a face that we hide away forever
And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone
Some are satin, some are steel, some are silk and some are leather
They are the faces of the Stranger but we love to try them on"
Billy Joel

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
Everything you always wanted to know about Arab attitudes toward
Israel, but were afraid to ask....
Part 41:
``The Reagan Plan attempts to contain and to extinguish the
Palestinian revolution.... Unfortunately, it does not deal with the
refugees of 1948, and limits the right of return to the West Bank and
Gaza, and not to their fundamental place in Jaffa, Haifa, and Safed.
Our rights extend beyond the West Bank and Gaza...''

"...to anyone who's ever heard the three worst words in the English language:
`Let's be friends'
...and to anyone who's ever had the intelligence to respond:
`That's nice--but at this point, I don't need any more friends.' "
