Life

Trying to figure this mess out.

After a month of reading, today I finally finished The Brothers Karamazov. It now ranks alone with one other book on my shelf, The Death of a Salesman in that it made me truly reconsider what sort of person I am, and my place in the world. Can’t recommend it enough.

maybe we’re mad? it’s possible. you’re talkin again like your books and your movie scenes. I’m thrown myself at the world like a lunatic. you’re a rocket, exploding like spiders across the stars. tonight we take the city, the marrow and the fringes. we’ll set our dogs on beauty, we’re growing wings and feathers. we’ll drink the wine that moves us and if we don’t break… we’re not trying hard enough.

There are moments, psychologists tell us, when the passion for sin, or for what the world calls sin, so dominates a nature that every fibre of the body, as every cell of the brain, seems to be instinct with fearful impulses. Men and women at such moments lose the freedom of their will. They move to their terrible end as automatons move. Choice is taken from them, and conscience is either killed, or, if it lives at all, lives but to give rebellion its fascination and disobedience its charm. For all sins, as theologians weary not of reminding us, are sins of disobedience. When that high spirit, that morning star of evil, fell from heaven, it was as a rebel that he fell.

The only instances where men wearing white tuxes are excusable are the following:

Tom Hanks in “Big”,

John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever”

and that is it. A white tux in any other case looks gaudy and sophomoric.

Tom: Maybe she was just in a hurry.

I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.

-Jessica Dovey

Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

-Martin Luther King Jr

yes not to mention the same people that express deep outrage to Muslim burnings of American Flags, Bibles and statues are the ones celebrating in the streets and calling the death of a group’s leader an “American Victory” and “one of the first great military achievements of the new century.” Mind you Bin Ladin was a sick bastard and needed to die, but point still stands.
