Quote:

Daniel Yankelovic and William Barrett, "Ego and Instinct"-"…with Freud, came the most humbling news of all: the lordly ego, center of meaning and value, could no longer be taken as the master within its own house, the human psyche; instead, bends in servitude to unconscious forces." (How true.)

(8pm) Over the past year I have been collecting quotes that seem relevant to me and some notes from the ozone. Since money hasn't come around to me yet, I will share some of them with you all.

Note from the ozone: Isn’t acceptance of the destruction of the world, as written about in Revelations, a defeatist attitude? (If we accept that there is nothing we can do to prevent it from happening, we are not going to try our hardest to solve our problems and avoid that ending.)

Quotes:

Henry James-"We work in the dark - We do what we can - We give what we have - Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of Art."

Franz Kafka-"I believe that we should read only those books that bite and sting us. If a book we are reading doesn't rouse us with a blow to the head, then why read it?"

Irwin Shaw on religion-"…consigned to eternal punishment for characteristics over which we have no control and which are built into the human animal!"

John Irving, "Garp"-"You only grow by coming to the end of something and by beginning something else."

Lawrence Sanders-"And you present a different mask, a different manner, a different character to every person you meet, and so do I, an so do we all."

Paul Theroux, "Mosquito Coast"-"When a man says women are all the same, it proves he's afraid of them."

(Midnite) Samantha stopped by and we went to the Paw for one set. (I still can't seem to get into dancing.) (Twas nice getting out though, and the companionship was much appreciated.) (The music and girl watching were good too.)
