Lost And Abandoned, John Crowley

"Love costs money; so love makes money, or is willing to try." --Lost and Abandoned, 
John Crowley


Found this in an anthology of short stories based on fairy tales called Black Swan, White Raven. It sums up such a simple truth that so few people want to admit to...

Watchmen, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons

"Large numbers of young people, raised in rigidly structured and industrially oriented cultures, violently reject industrialism and seek instead some modified version of the agricultural lifestyle that their forebears(debatably) enjoyed, including extended communal families and in some instances a barter economy in miniature. Children starve while boots costing many thousands of dollars leave their mark upon the surface of the moon. We have labored long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.

~from Watchmen, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
