Loose yourself on evidence

"They smiled at the good
and frowned at the bad
and sometimes they were very sad."

Take The A Train

"Let's just say that durinng my travels I've become acquainted with interior states that collapse the distance between people. Sometimes, despite how far apart we are physically, I have drawn very close to you, right up into your intermost chamber. I can feel what you're feeling. From here."

"Dark, dark my light, and darker my desire.

My soul, like some heat-maddened summer fly,

Keeps buzzing at the sill. Which I is I?

A Fallen man, I climb out of my fear.

The mind enters itself, and God the mind,

And one is One, free in the tearing wind."

 

VIA THEODORE ROETHKE



"For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

"The magnolia trees hadn't read. They didn't think love was a mental state, the magnolias insisted it was natural, perennial."

VIA THE MARRIAGE PLOT, JEFFREY EUGENIDES





Waiting

Tummult of anxiety provoked by waiting for the loved being,

subject to trivial delays (rendezvous, letters, phone calls, returns).

 

... Waiting is an enchantment: I have recieved orders not to move. Waiting for a telephone is thereby woven out of tiny, unavowable interdictions to infinity: I forbid myself to leave the room, to go to the toilet, even to telephone (to keep the line from being busy)...

I Want A Boy by PWR BTTM

I do want a student

Who lies and reads at night,
But I do not want an officer

Who goes with feathers in his hat

 



"Recollection is a means not only of conserving but also of augmenting."

THE SEDUCER'S DIARY, SOREN KIERKEGAARD



"Just what exactly is it that you're looking for?

The mind plays tricks on the memory. Time is skewed to benefit convenience. Events are compressed for greater efficiancy or expanded to accommodate a false sense of triumph. This being the case, it's hard to say exactly, but it seems to me that I spent close to fifteen thousand years standing stock-still in that exact same spot, searching for answer to question."

 

VIA NAKED, DAVID SEDARIS

"That would do."

Mutiny by Prince and The New Power Generation

SPENCER

"I'm the new here and now."

"I have called you by name;

you are mine."
