It's been difficult because it's always hard when you're not being picked for the big games. But I've kept quiet, put my head down and trained hard when I've been back with my club. I'm really looking forward to Saturday.

It's been a great start here and it's an exciting time ahead, there's a lot of ambition at the club.

I think U.S. citizens are trained at a young age to fully inhale the system, the rhetoric and ideologies surrounding democracy, capitalism, religion, family life...If the wizard is exposed, and we realize we’ve been lied to, it’s frightening, like political vertigo or instantaneous sobriety.

I actually think that 'States of Union' will be a lifelong endeavor for me. It won't take up all my energy as it has in recent years, but I imagine that I will always continue to add to the body of work - the project of documentation will never be entirely complete.

Unlike ordinary feelings, the feeling of reason and the feeling of respect do not have a sensible cause; their cause is reason itself.
