Cool things written by others that I am writing here, because they are cool (the people and the things they said) and sometimes the brain needs poking and provoking if its always choking (on “filler” thoughts):
Australian Aboriginal teachings :
We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love. . . .and then we return home.
“Free giving” and generosity are fostered in children at a young age. The act of sharing is an instinctive reflex in aboriginal people.
The vagina is very hot, it is fire and each time the penis goes in it, it dies.
The exaggeration of self-importance, which we call fame, distorts the flow of interrelationships and shatters the sense of belonging that forms the web of society.
Aging occurs as a result of a loss of connection with the spirit of earthly life.
Rainbows: From this direct union of fire and water, the refracted light unveils a perfect circular arch in which the entire potential of the world of form and color delicately manifests.
Steinbeck from “Of Mice and Men” : As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.
Douglas Adams from “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” (which found me, not I it) : The effect of drinking a pan-galactic gargle blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.
There comes a point I’m afraid where you begin to suspect that if there’s any real truth, its that the entire multi-dimensional infinity of the universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs.
Dostoyevsky from “Brothers Karamazov Part 1”, written a helluva long time ago : Everywhere today the mind of man has ceased, ironically, to understand that the true security of the individual does not lie in isolated personal efforts but in general human solidarity.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada from “Beyond Birth and Death” :
We are eternal so why should we be interested in temporary things?
Travel is part of the nature of the living entity.
Reality means existence which cannot be vanquished; reality means eternity.
Tom Sharpe from “The Throwback” : All in all, Sandicott Crescent was the height of suburbia, the apex of that architectural triangle which marked the highest point of the topographical chart of middle class ambition.
Thomas Paine from “The Age of Reason” written in the late 1700s
My own mind is my own church.
The Christian theory is little else than the idolatry of the ancient mythologists, accommodated to the purpose of power and revenue.
The word of God cannot exist in any written or human language.
The church has setup a religion of pomp and of revenue, in pretended imitation of a person whose life was humility and poverty.
Since, then, no part of our earth is left unoccupied, why is it to be supposed that the immensity of space is a naked void lying in eternal waste? There is room for millions of worlds as large or larger than ours.
The only idea we can have of serving God, is that of contributing to the happiness of the living creation that God has made.
It is incumbent on every man who reverences the character of the creator, and who wishes to lessen the catalogue of artificial miseries, and remove the cause that has sown persecutions thick among mankind, TO EXPEL ALL IDEAS OF REVEALED RELIGION, AS A DANGEROUS HERESY AND AN IMPIOUS FRAUD.
Thomas Paine from Thomas Paine (badass motherfucker):
Poverty is a thing created by that which is called civilized life.
My country is the world and my religion is to do good.
