"There are times when I like to think I still have my card in the intellectual's guild, but I seem to be joining company with that horde of the mediocre and the mad who listen to popular songs and act upon coincidence." -Norman Mailer's An American Dream."I cannot fiddle, but I can make a great state of a small city."-Themistocles."i just wanna shake the snowglobe that is our collective consciousness." -me"The rule of law does not do away with the unequal distribution of wealth and power, but reinforces that inequality with the authority of law. It allocates wealth and poverty in such calculated and indirect ways as to leave the victim bewildered." -Howard Zinn"Violence is fomented by the imposition of singular and belligerent identities on gullible people, championed by proficient artisans of terror." -Amartya Sen, Indentity and Violence"You really believe death leads to eternal bliss; then why are you wearing a seat belt?" -Doug Stanhope"This above all-to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." -Polonius"The past should be a springboard, not a hammock." -Rachele's Mema"I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance." -Arthur Rimbaudcongruent spheres for a moment in time.
one moment of love fulfilled.
one moment of romance too real.The world reflects off of all that you already are.
now, there is comfort.
now, there is understanding.Understated and full known.Then it leaves
fears of insecurity.
autumns colors have shade.
leave us barren,
as a winter night's wind.cuts to the bone to
a feeling too well known.all is not lost.
but this,
maybe.
-me"If the mountains ah, fell in the sea, Let it be, it aint me. Got my own world to live through And I aint gonna copy you. Now if uh, six turned out to be nine, Oh I dont mind, I dont mind." -Jimi Hendrix
