culture not society ... horizons not borders ...
finite but only within the infinite...
Art, music, literature, and the grist of politics ...

forgive and forget,
and you never will regret...

Eternity
~~~~~~~
He who binds to himself a joy,
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies,
Lives in eternity's sun rise. ~William Blake

if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is
~Charles Bukoswki
When logic and good fortune have fallen softly dead,
and the White Knight is talking backwards,
and the Red Queen's lost her head...
Remember -- what the dormouse said...
Feed your head!--
Feed your head!! ~ Jefferson Airplane
"The purpose of journalism is to afflict the comfortable."--Joseph Pulitzer
The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.
- Charles Bukowski
"By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions - by abandoning every value except the will to power - they follow in the path of fascism, of nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies."
- George W. Bush address to a joint session of Congress and the American people,
21st September 2001.
The Romans make a desert and call it peace,
~ Galgacus, a Caledonian chieftain
"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."
- Winston Churchill
"It would be a lot easier if this were a dictatorship, so long as I am the dictator." - Bush
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind and whispered, 'Pooh!'
'Yes, Piglet?'
'Nothing', said Piglet taking Pooh’s paw,
'I just wanted to be sure of you.'
~ A.A. Milne
Don't go far off...
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
~Pablo Neruda
love me woozy ;) |
