The essential thing

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, that which abides, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I must, before I die, find some way to say the essential thing that is in me, that I have never said yet—a thing that is not love or hate or pity or scorn, but the very breath of life, fierce and coming from far away, bringing into human life the vastness and fearful passionless force of non-human things.”

—Bertrand Russell, letter to Colette O’Niel, July 5, 1918

The Book

Posted by PJ under mysteries, quote of the day, the universe
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“In my youth I regarded the Universe as an open book, printed in the language of physical equations, whereas now it appears to me as a text written in invisible ink, of which, in our rare moments of grace, we are able to decipher a small fragment.”

—Arthur Koestler, The Invisible Writing

Genie

Posted by PJ under neurosis, quote of the day, reality
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Neurosis is essentially a loss of contact with reality. We all possess a ‘reality function’—the ability to reach out and make contact with reality. It is obviously weaker in children than adults, because the child has had less experience of reality, and therefore finds it harder to evoke reality ‘inside his own head,’ so to speak. For this is what is at issue: the ability to summon reality, like summoning the genie from the lamp, and to make it present itself inside one’s own head.”

—Colin Wilson, C. G. Jung: Lord of the Underworld

Cycles

Posted by PJ under nature, quote of the day, rebirth, renewal
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“How solemn and huge and deeply pathetic our life does loom in its once-and-doneness, how inexorably linear, even though our rotating, revolving planet offers us the cycles of the day and of the year to suggest that existence is intrinsically cyclical, a playful spin, and that there will always be, tomorrow morning or the next, another chance.”

—John Updike, Self-Consciousness
