The good life
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. – George Bernard Shaw
The good life
we observe the armistice
between our shadows
today,
we live in a world
of small things
Poetry
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly. – G. K. Chesterton
The good life
True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. – C.S. Lewis
The good life
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. – H. P. Lovecraft

Gombrowicz on me
“Why, my man is created from the outside, that is, he is inauthentic in essence- he is always not-himself, because he is determined by form, which is born between people. His “I”, therefore, is marked for him in that “interhumanity.” An eternal actor, but a natural one, because his artificiality is inborn, it makes up a feature of his humanity-to be a man means to be an actor-to be a man means to pretend to be a man-to be a man means to “act like” a man while not being one deep inside-to be a man is to recite humanity.”
― Witold Gombrowicz

All that energy that could be used to work together to improve the human condition, goes to competing for hungry eyeballs.

Yes! I want the whole world to know
I delight more in the kiss you throw
than in {Kim Kardashian’s} fellatio
Poetry
Leading a life that will never be approved of
So there. This is what you have done.
Something inside is waiting until you are gone.
My highest morality is a travesty.
My greatest love, revolting.
My sacred ones, a blemish on your race.
My hatred, the purest thing I know.
Poetry
Gentle lady, do not sing
Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing,
How love that passes is enough.
Sing about the long deep sleep
Of lovers that are dead and how
In the grave all love shall sleep
Love is aweary now
– James Joyce
Poetry
Was an effort made to create this? Was an effort made to overcome this? Is good art the capitulation of the artist?

Don’t underestimate the power of pretty scientific models! On the catwalk of the universe they are all we have.
