    The Treasures of Heaven are not Negations of Passion, but Realities of Intellect from which All the Passions Emanate Uncurbed in their Eternal Glory.

    What you leave behind is not what is engraved on a stone monument but what is woven into the lives of others.

    Once a Hippy always a Hippy.
    If not, they were never a Hippy in the first place. :D

    Just read this poem again and it gave me chills.

    It's called "The Second Coming" Yeats.

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

    The darkness drops again but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    "everyone is baffled. If they're not baffled, they're deluded."

    -Moby, on the entire human race. It summed up the human condition quite well for me. I don't know why I was listening to a random Moby interview haha

    "Never cruel nor cowardly. Never give up, never give in."

    Took that one from Dr. Who, actually :)

    ...it's freaky you should mention that. I just read "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, which gets its name and epigraph from this poem

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world

    Was in my fortune cookie and made me think about it....

    "Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see."

    Hmmmmm.....philosophical, to say the least..

    Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
