As Alice herself said: "Be nobody's darling. Be an outcast, qualified to live among the dead."

No one on here giving T.S Eliot credit for this? Read The Hollow Men, this is his final stanza.
The Eliot poem's ending is describing Guy Fawke's failed plan to burn down English Parliament (the plot shared by the movie V for Vendetta). Fawke planned for it to go out with a bang, but he was caught and executed (the whimper). I wish Eliot was at least given some credit somewhere in this video or in one of the comments...

Eliot's name is among the tags to this video. The big question today is whether we all will end with a big bang or a tiny whimper. My sympathy is with the whimpering child.

Thanks all, for your kind response. I take it to my heart. I really need it, because the social climate between my fellow countrymen and women here in Sweden is rapidly degrading and becoming more egocentric. Most of them haven't even heard about Alice Walker. I'm being met with contempt for caring for others than myself.
