Know Thy Self
And....I, and....I would like to travel the world at least three times before I die, They said I would be something someday.... What do they know?, I feel as if life is too short so I live it to the fullest, I can't hold grudges, I stare at things for long periods of time, I find dark people fascinating, and bright people entertaining, I delight in goldfish and penguins, track homes terrify me, Mediocrity is my greatest fear ........
What encompasses me........Watching water color bleed, listening to outside conversations, realizing the quality of a spoon, playing a sad song, looking out the car window, waiting for street lights to come on, pouring my heart out to a machine,painting on shattered glass, deep conversations, uncontrollable laughter, paper cups,break dancers, records that can no longer play sweet music, small fires, walking in the sand, glancing into the distance, shedding a tear, hiding a smile, watching the movies that only I enjoy, holding a conversation with my dog, standing in a crowded room, dancing in the rain,gasping for air, sinking slowly, wearing scarves, reading by the fire, winter months, unpredictable situations, awkward moments, small adventures, bad coffee, the smell of cloves, the sight of big cities, black and white moments captured in my thoughts.....Today happens while I'm living out tomorrow....
Speed Levitch: Life is a matter of a miracle that is collected over time by moments flabbergasted to be in each others presence.
Man in Bar - There are two kinds of sufferers in this world, those who suffer from a lack of life and those who suffer from an overabundance of life. I've always found myself in the second category. When you come to think of it, almost all human behavior and activity is not essentially any different from animal behavior. The most advance technologies and craftsmanship bring us, at best, up to the super chimpanzee level. Actually, the gap between say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human. The realm of the real spirit, the true artist, the Saint, the philosopher, is rarely achieved. Why so few? Why is world history and evolution not stories of progress but rather this endless and futile addition of zeros. No greater values have developed. Hell, the Greeks three thousand years ago just as advanced as we are. So what are these barriers that keep people from reaching anywhere near their real potential? The answer to that can be found in another question and that's this - which is the most universal human characteristic? Fear or laziness? -Waking Life
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" -Jack Kerouac
Annina: Oh, monsieur, you are a man. If somone loved you very much, so that your happiness was the only thing that she wanted in the world, but she did a bad thing to make certain of it, could you forgive her?
Rick: Nobody ever loved me that much.
The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving.
Thank you Saul Williams!
William Somerset: I just don't think I can continue to live in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was virtue.
David Mills: You're no different. You're no better.
William Somerset: I didn't say I was different or better. I'm not. Hell, I sympathize; I sympathize completely. Apathy is the solution. I mean, it's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life. It's easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. It's easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work.
