I haven't posted any quotes or links to interesting stories (well, maybe just interesting to me) in quite a while. In fact, some of these articles date to the summer (shame on me). Anyway, I hope you find something thought-provoking here. Enjoy!
"People intoxicate themselves with work so they won't see how they really are." — Aldous Huxley
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." — Marcus Aurelius
"We have been educated to such a fine—or dull—point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It's the democratic way." — Henry Miller
"A fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke." — Søren Kierkegaard
"In the afterlife, we'll sit around talking about the good old days, when we wished that we were dead." — Samuel Beckett
"A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on." — William S. Burroughs
