Dog

Posted by PJ under dogs, knowledge, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“All knowledge, the totality of all questions and all answers, is contained in the dog. If one could but realize this knowledge, if one could but bring it into the light of day, if we dogs would but own that we know infinitely more than we admit to ourselves!”

—Franz Kafka, “Investigations of a Dog”

Whirling

Posted by PJ under gods, hearts, prayers, quote of the day, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“You must descend from
your head into your heart.
At present your thoughts of God
are in your head. And God Himself is,
as it were, outside you, and
so your prayer and other spiritual
exercises
remain exterior. Whilst you are still
in your head,
thoughts will not easily be subdued but
will always be whirling about, like snow
in winter or
clouds of mosquitoes in summer.

—St. Theophan the Recluse, in For Lovers of God Everywhere: Poems of the Christian Mystics, ed. Roger Housden

Jobs

Posted by PJ under happiness, quote of the day, work
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Much of the message that I try to put across to students is that they have to figure out what they really like to do and find a way to do that as an adult for their jobs. A lot of people have jobs they don’t like, and it makes for very unhappy people. So I tell them if you like to write, or run around, or dig in the dirt, then find a job that will allow you to do that, and you’ll be happy.”

Canary

Posted by PJ under art, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I sometimes wondered what the use of any of the arts was. The best thing I could come up with was what I call the canary in the coal mine theory of the arts. This theory says that artists are useful to society because they are so sensitive. They are super-sensitive. They keel over like canaries in poison coal mines long before more robust types realize that there is any danger whatsoever.”

—Kurt Vonnegut, Chicago Tribune Magazine, June 22, 1969
