" Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.'
--from the 1994 Inaugural Speech of Nelson Mandela,
President of the Republic of South Africa.
I never wanted a woman that wanted
Me for my name or material things
See I always hope for a woman that's so sure, emotionally secure
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to always tell the difference."
- Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five, Chapter 3
"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
- J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Ch. 24
"If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late? Nobody."
- J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Ch. 17
Mayakovsky:"
Now I am quietly waiting for
the catastrophe of my personality
to seem beautiful again,
and interesting, and modern.
The country is grey and
brown and white in trees,
snows and skies of laughter
always diminishing, less funny
not just darker, not just grey.
It may be the coldest day of
the year, what does he think of
that? I mean, what do I? And if I do,
perhaps I am myself again.
"drain-circling arpeggios, cavernous swaths of glockenspiel, synths, pianos, and white noise." ~Pitchfork
I miss the simple ritual of making time to buy a record. I also miss listening to something special for the first time and imagining, against reason, the rest of the world holed up in their respective bedrooms, having the same experience.
