I reside in a new colony for the Chinese-singing banjo player, with a population of one. At least I have something I have to do with my life.
I come from a lower-middle-class family and used to stay in a housing board colony.
Each colony became accustomed to planting new settlements and to claiming new boundaries.
In each colony in 1750 were to be found two sets of governing organizations, - the local and the general.
Man, like other organisms, is so perfectly coordinated that he may easily forget, whether awake or asleep, that he is a colony of cells in action, and that it is the cells which achieve, through him, what he has the illusion of accomplishing himself.
The cities are the principal home and seat of the human group. They are the coral colony for Man, the collective being.
In Hollywood if you are not working, you are a leper. True, you are probably living in the most expensive leper colony in the world.
I found 'The Twin' sitting on a coffee table at a writers' colony in 2009. It carried praise from J.M. Coetzee. That seemed ample justification for using it to avoid my own writing. I finished it - weeping - a day later, and I've been puzzling over its powerful hold on me ever since.
In a colony constituted like that of New South Wales, the proportion of crime must of course be great.
I had bedbugs in 2005. I felt like a leper. Worse than a leper. At least lepers had a colony they could go and live in with other people who empathized. I instead had friends stand up from tables and walk out of restaurants when I told them I had bedbugs, because they were afraid I'd transfer the bugs to them.
