There Is No More Hollow

I Know Girls Who Pine For It. They Like To Play Dress-up And Pretend Being Vor Ladies Of Old, Rescued From Menace By Romantic Vor Youths. For Some Reason They Never Play 'dying In Childbirth', Or 'vomiting Your Guts Out From The Red Dysentery', Or 'weaving Till You Go Blind And Crippled From Arthritis And Dye Poisoning', Or 'infanticide'. Well, They Do Die Romantically Of Disease Sometimes, But Somehow It's Always An Illness That Makes You Interestingly Pale And Everyone Sorry And Doesn't Involve Losing Bowel Control.

There Is Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, More Important To Me In The Men And Women I Train Than Their Absolute Personal Integrity. Whether You Function As Welders Or Inspectors, The Laws Of Physics Are Implacable Lie Detectors. You May Fool Men. You Will Never Fool Metal. That’s All.
