thinking order stories
I think that we need mythology. We need a bedrock of story and legend in order to live our lives coherently.
anarchy chaos vendetta
This is not anarchy, Eve. This is chaos.
littles
I have so very much. I have so very little.
technology amish kind
I'm remote from most technology to the point that I'm kind of Amish.
morning smell victory
I love the smell of paper in the morning; it smells like victory.
thinking moments vendetta
The ending is nearer than you think, and it is already written. All that we have left to choose is the correct moment to begin.
stupid chaos nasty
With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty
bad-day men dc-comics
All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day." The Joker - The Killing Joke
lonely pain solitude
I am but a stranger ... as we all are. Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each others pain and must bear our own in solitude. For my part, I have found that walking soothes it; and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walk besides us ... at least for a little way.
responsibility thinking roots
The roots of the word 'anarchy' are 'an archos,' 'no leaders,' which is not really about the kind of chaos that most people imagine when the word 'anarchy' is mentioned. I think that anarchy is, to the contrary, about taking personal responsibility for yourself.
reality ideas mind
The Here-and-Now demands attention, is more present to us. We dismiss the inner world of our ideas as less important, although most of our immediate physical reality originated only in the mind. The TV, sofa, clock and room, the whole civilisation that contains them once were nothing save ideas.
mind phantoms geography
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
years mad people
I've known a lot of people go mad over the years, and it is more distressing than people dying. People dying is quite natural, people going mad is the complete antithesis of that.
names evil done
When the persecution of an individual who has exposed an evil is pursued so ruthlessly and yet the evil itself is studiedly ignored, all of us know that there is something very wrong with the way that our society is conducting itself. And if we do not protest in the strongest terms about what is being done in our name, then we become complicit.
