Scenes From a Broken Hand: "I think it's a toss-up"

"I think it's a toss-up"

The IRS is not the country's thumbscrews, and the "tyranny" of taxation is not the same thing as living under an autocrat. The fact that people out there in my country can't tell the difference just shows that our way of teaching history is, in fact, crap.

"They didn't know fuck-all about tyranny."

Too right.

Scenes from a Broken Hand

CHESTER:
This monk I knew in Thailand... amazing man. He was always talking about these veils that stand between us and reality—and how you had to push them back to win the Hide and Seek.

JIM:
Hide and Seek?

MORDECAI:
It's a game, Pogo—the one I'm playing with myself—my real self, deep down.

CHESTER:
No, no. God, or the world, or whatever is out there, is playing it--with all of us. See, God is like this tremendous hand, and we, all of us, everything, are like the fingers. What God does is, he splits himself up into all these different parts, all these fingers: plants, fish, people, rocks—and then—this is the amazing part— he forgets! He forgets what he's done. He plays a game with himself, see? Hide and Seek! That's what the veils are for—so he can forget—so we can forget where it all came from. We see the fingers, but we never see the hand.
