"Another part of the Puritan legacy is the belief that no one should have joy or abundance until everyone does, a belief that austere at one end, in the deprivation it endorses, and fantastical in the other, since it awaits a universal utopia.

And when you face a politics that aspires to make you fearful, alienated, and isolated, joy is a fine initial act of insurrection."
