#NowPlaying What A Day By London Grammar

#NowPlaying I Am the Highway by Audioslave

Today or tomorrow sickness and death will come (they had come already) to those I love or to me; nothing will remain but stench and worms. Sooner or later my affairs, whatever they may be, will be forgotten, and I shall not exist. Then why go on making any effort? … How can man fail to see this? And how go on living? That is what is surprising! One can only live while one is intoxicated with life; as soon as one is sober it is impossible not to see that it is all a mere fraud and a stupid fraud! That is precisely what it is: there is nothing either amusing or witty about it, it is simply cruel and stupid.

Leo Tolstoy

(via The Physics of Black Holes - with Chris Impey - YouTube)

Be strong, but not rude. Be kind, but not weak. Be humble, but not timid. Be proud, but not arrogant.

Can is not the same as must… But if you must and you can, then there’s no excuse.

Philip Pullman, The Amber Spyglass

False is the body, false are the clothes; false is beauty.

Nanak

People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.

Seneca

I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not, whereas when I do not know, neither do I think I know; so I am likely to be wiser than he to this small extent—that I do not think I know what I do not know.

Socrates, Apology
