Forever - Not For Better

Dillinger's final words of comfort for the lonely and weary of heart of this grate[sic] land:

"If you try to probe, I'll lie to you. Seventy-five percent of what I say in interviews is false. I'm like a hen protecting her eggs. I cannot talk. I must protect my work. Introspection is bad for me. I'm a medium, not an orator. Like certain oriental and Christian mystics, I think the 'self' is a kind of enemy. My work is what enables me to come out of myself. I like what I do, not what I am . . . Do you know the best service anyone could render to art? Destroy all biographies. Only art can explain the life of a man -- and not the contrary."

"You, Dear Reader, will take little note, nor long remember what was written here, but it can never be forgotten what has been un-done here. How it has all come to be undone?"

And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
