I'm just your average pierced, inked, caffinated, feminist, political junkie. Majoring in Women's Studies and minoring in Philosophy. I speak German and say this to you: romantic languages can suck it. Hope to learn Russian soon. After I graduate in about a year I plan on spending a good amount of time traveling around the world, specifically: Thailand, Algeria, Morocco, Tibet, India, Venezuela and Burma. I love freaks, dorks and social outcasts.
"Near the Wall of a House"
Near the wall of a house painted
to look like stone,
I saw visions of God.
A sleepless night that gives others a headache
gave me flowers
opening beautifully inside my brain.
And he who was lost like a dog
will be found like a human being
and brought back home again.
Love is not the last room; there are others
after it, the whole length of the corridor
that has no end.
-Yehuda Amichai
"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." H.D. Thoreau
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein
"Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative, they wander even further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind." The Dalai Lama
