"To piss warm and drink cold, as Trimalchio says, because in the middle is our Mother the Earth, made round like an egg, with all good things in herself like a honeycomb."

-Miller on Miller on Petronius

"Sometimes naked
Sometimes mad
Now the scholar
Now the fool
Thus they appear on earth:
The free men."

-Hindu verse

"I am a factor of universal balance. My fate has always been a matter of distribution, participatory or not."

-Moi

"All and nothing, breath to sound to echo to ear. Limitless light. And us... and us. How strange."

-Pythagoras


That was my night: full of strange promise, men consulting the cosmic rulebook, women with eyes and lips toward the sky. Stirrings. Something large will happen today.
syne:
"The man who is thoroughly convinced of the universal operation of the law of causation cannot for a moment entertain the idea of a being who interferes in the course of events...He has no use for the religion of fear and equally little for social or moral religion. A God who rewards and punishes is inconceivable to him for the simple reason that a man's actions are determined by necessity, external and internal, so that in God's eyes he cannot be responsible for the motions it undergoes....A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."

- Albert Einstein

"Isn't all of philosophy as if written in honey? Something may appear clear at first, but when one looks again it has disappeared. Only the pap remains."

- Albert Einstein

Not that Albert was a great philosopher, just an interesting thinker.

I must bust-ith a move off to work but upon my return I'll fill you in on my thoughts about/reasons for Wyoming...

syne:
Be daring, be different, be impractical; be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play--it--safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
--Cecil Beaton

Another nugget to fill the pocket....Need to eat and watch a flick to chilly-chill-chill...
