Quote Me A Piece Of Writing That You Really, Really Love :)

"By today’s sensibilities, it’s more than a little macabre that a great moral movement would adopt as its symbol a graphic representation of a revolting means of torture and execution. (Imagine that the logo of a Holocaust museum was a shower nozzle, or that survivors of the Rwandan genocide formed a religion around the symbol of a machete.)" - Steve Pinker
 
“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not;
and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
 
Followers of obsolete unthinkable trades, doodling in Etruscan, addicts of drugs not yet synthesized, black marketeers of World War II, excisors of telepatic sensitivity, osteopaths of the spirit, investigators of infractions denounced by bland paranoid chess players, servers of fragmentary warrents taken down in hebephrenic shorthand charging unspeakable mutilations of the spirit, officials of unconstituted police states, brokers of exquisite dreams and nostalgias tested on the sensitized cells of junk sickness and bartered for raw materials of the will, drinkers of the Heavy Fluid sealed in translucent anber of dreams.

An immortal instinct, deep within the spirit of man, is thus, plainly, a sense of the Beautiful ... It is the desire of the moth for the star. It is no mere appreciation of the Beauty before us — but a wild effort to reach the Beauty above. Inspired by an ecstatic prescience of the glories beyond the grave, we struggle, by multiform combinations among the things and thoughts of Time, to attain a portion of that Loveliness whose very elements, perhaps, appertain to eternity alone.
 
It is not the artistic aptitudes that are secondary sexual characters ... ; it is the other way around: sex is but the ancilla of art.
 
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

medicine makes the best laughter - and it works the other way around

-me and plenty of others I'm sure.
 
^ Sure thing.

“The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.”
― Voltaire
 
^ Yeah, it seems to fit the profile undoubtedly.

“You grow up the day you have your first real laugh – at yourself.”
 
“Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water.
But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.”
 
This was perfect for my day at work;

“If you think the most courageous and difficult thing you can do is stubbornly stand your ground, try graciously giving in.”
 
The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality. The tree that you are aware of intellectually, because of that small time lag, is always in the past and therefore unreal. Any intellectually conceived object is always in the past and therefore unreal. Reality is always the moment of vision before the intellectualization takes place. There is no other reality. This preintellectual reality is what Phaedrus felt he had properly identified as Quality. Since all intellectually identifiable things must emerge from this preintellectual reality, Quality is the parent, the source of all subjects and objects.
