On Greatness
“there is no way to be truly great in this world. we are all impaled on the crook of conditioning. a fish that is in the water has no choice that he is. genius would have it that we swim in sand. but we are fish and we drown.” – james dean. the subtle truth in these words remains that he was indeed great but even great wasnt great enough for him. that’s dignity for you. the rest of the bits about “live fast, die young” were just too romantic for me. by xy
henry miller
the brilliant author and painter and one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, mr. henry miller explores the paradigms of earth, life, death and the thwarting troubles in between. here is a bit of a summary from the man himself:
“no matter what you touch and you wish to know about, you end up in a sea of mystery. you see there’s no beginning or end, you can go back as far as you want, forward as far as you want, but you never got to it, it’s like the essence, it’s that right, it remains. this is the greatest damn thing about the universe. that we can know so much, recognize so much, dissect, do everything, and we can’t grasp it. and it’s meant to be that way, do y’know. and there’s where our reverence should come in. Before everything, the littlest thing as well as the greatest. the tiniest, the horseshit, as well as the angels, do y’know what I mean. tt’s all mystery. all impenetrable, as it were, right?” by sv
my kind of love letter
my dear,
there may be more beautiful times, but this one is ours.
look back, look forth, look close, there may be more prosperous times, more intelligent times, more spiritual times, and more happy times, but this one, this small moment in the history of the universe, this is ours.
and let’s do it with everything. everything.
falsely yours,
jean-paul charles aymard sartre
