quote of the day

“the God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction:  jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

richard dawkins, ‘the god delusion’

quote of the day

“the fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid.”

-j.d. salinger, nine stories


quote of the day

“nothing is more evident than that nature hates mind.  thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease.”

-oscar wilde, ‘the decay of lying’

quote of the day (in sanskrit)

“anicca (sanskrit)– the law of impermanence. everything in this world is temporary, from a body sensation, to a broken heart, to a being’s life. whatever situation you find yourself in, remember that this too shall pass, be it good or bad.” so cheer the fuck up dd. by ht

quote(s) of the day

“it assures me that nothing matters except my love, and that even this love has no value for me unless it remains innocent and free.  it denies me a personality, and deprives my suffering of its echo.  the world is beautiful, and this is everything.  the great truth which it patiently teaches me is that neither the mind nor even the heart has any importance.”

-albert camus, fiesole, 1935
