Random quote of the day:
“It is as if the world we perceive through our senses, that whole gorgeous and terrible pageant, were the breath-thin surface of a bubble, and everything else, inside and outside, is pure radiance. Both suffering and joy come then like a brief reflection, and death like a pin.”
—Stephen Mitchell, Introduction to The Book of Job

I have been folding boxes every day—I’m up to Box 47 as of today—but I got so far behind in blogging them that catching up grew rather daunting. If you’re interested in the ones I’ve been doing, you can visit my Instagram page:

I may start blogging them again, but I make no guarantees.

Posted by PJ under humor, quote of the day
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“Don’t trust the judgment of a man who does not regard humor as an essential part of the alembic of life, for he is a fanatic and is impervious to normal human relationships. Humor is not merely the telling of funny stories. It recognizes the vast difference between life as we imagine it and life as we live it, and between the fanciful and imposing impressions we have of ourselves and what we actually are.”

No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“Magic is no more than the art of employing consciously invisible means to produce visible effects. Will, love and imagination are magic powers that everyone possesses; and whoever knows how to develop them to their fullest extent is a magician. Magic has but one dogma, namely, that the seen is the measure of the unseen.”
—W. Somerset Maugham, The Magician: A Novel

Random quote of the day:
“Those who refuse to listen to dragons are probably doomed to spend their lives acting out the nightmares of politicians. We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night.”
—Ursula K. LeGuin, “Fantasy, Like Poetry, Speaks the Language of the Night,” San Francisco Sunday Examiner and Chronicle, November 21, 1976
