Crucifixions
I am not an idealist, nor a cynic,
but merely unafraid of contradictions.
I have seen men face each other when
both were right, yet each was determined
to kill the other, which was wrong.
What each man saw was an image of the
other, made by someone else. That is
what we are prisoners of.-A Personal Testament by Donald Hogan,
