Visions

Posted by PJ under daimons and demons, quote of the day, religion, vision
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Christianity holds no brief for fairies, aliens and the like. Its officials can scarcely tolerate reputable visions of the Virgin Mary. On the whole, it wishes apparitions would go away. If they don’t, it is tempted to call them the work of the devil.”

—Patrick Harper, Daimonic Reality

Mask

Random quote of the day:

“As soon as we make a definite assertion about the nature of reality, reality itself—soul, imagination, the unconscious and (the best model of all) Mercurius—immediately constellates its opposite. Whenever we think we have captured reality, and pinned the daimon down, he has in fact already slipped away; we are left with an empty mask.”

An old lady’s worth

Posted by PJ under art, daimons and demons, dreams and dreamtime, quote of the day, writers, writing
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“An artist is a creature driven by demons. He don’t (sic) know why they choose him and he’s usually too busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done….The writer’s only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ is worth any number of old ladies.”

—William Faulkner, The Paris Review, Issue 12, Spring 1956

Daimonic

Random quote of the day:

“Everything demonic is intermediate between God and mortal. God has no contact with man; only through the demonic is there intercourse and conversation between man and gods, whether in the waking state or during sleep.”
