The Lathe of Heaven

“He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.”

— The Lathe of Heaven, by Ursula K. Le Guin (1971)

Now some folks say its too big and uses too much gas
Some folks say its too old and that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a honda, its bigger than a subaru

–Pink Cadillac, Bruce Springsteen
