Random quote of the day:
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds, it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings, but never a natural death. Every lover could be brought to trial as the murderer of his own love.”
—Anaïs Nin, The Four-chambered Heart, Vol. 3

Random quote of the day:
“The New York Times reported that nearly seven in ten Republicans prefer America as it was in the fifties, a nostalgia of course entirely unavailable to a person like me, for in that period I could not vote, marry my husband, have my children, work in the university I work in, or live in my neighborhood. Time travel is a discretionary art: a pleasure trip for some and a horror story for others. Meanwhile some on the left have time-travel fancies of their own, imagining that the same rigid ideological principles once applied to the matters of workers’ rights, welfare and trade can be applied unchanged to a globalized world of fluid capital.”

Random quote of the day:
“In a revolutionary period it is always the best who die. The law of sacrifice leaves the last word to the cowards and the timorous since the others have lost it by giving the best of themselves.”

Posted by PJ under labyrinths, myth, quote of the day, the center, the universe
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“There is a presumed center to a labyrinth, and if we think of the universe as a labyrinth, as Borges did, then it must have a center, even if that center is horrible, or demonic, like the half-beast, half-human Minotaur, which was confined at the center of the mythic labyrinth Daedulus built for King Minos on the ancient island kingdom of Crete. It is nonetheless a center; and if we believe in it, we at least can believe in a chance for some kind of meaning. And we can at least hope that the center is holy, is divine. If there is no center at all, then the universe is chaos and we are up a river of shit with no philosophical paddle.”

Posted by PJ under love, quote of the day, secrets
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to little peanut it will give up its secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also – if you love them enough. In a crowded auditorium of people I can pick out the spiritual souls almost at a glance.
―George Washington Carver, quoted in The Man Who Talks With Flowers by Glenn Clark
