Forgiveness and Gratitude. Relationship above Righteousness.

Perhaps, precisely because their creative urges have nowhere to be channelled, what they long for is death itself.

Not to boast, but I think my position is good enough now that I can quite comfortably coast through the remainder of the year.

"Why has the once civilized and elegant Europe become so inept today?"

"A consultant lacks the love a sovereign once held for his lands."

The finest writers ought to be exceptionally sensitive souls, yet upon further reflection, truly sensitive individuals cannot dwell within the experiences of others. How contradictory.

I reckon I've got a pretty chill view on wealth these days, until yesterday when a friend asked me if I knew any top collectors, saying he wanted to sell a Modigliani painting. Damn, it was truly beautiful!

@maintcraft 🤣 Let's hurry up and cultivate Siberia.

@TellYourSonThis It's just a pity that love like Romeo and Juliet's has faded from the stage. True love is a rebellion against the shackles of the times, or rather, a revolution. Now that we are all commodities and programs, what need is there for love?

An absent reunion

[feng @JfengY]

@ArtfulPrudence I know few people who have achieved worldly success from a bad start, but I have yet to meet one who has overcome the enormous personality flaws caused by a lack of love and become normal. For this group of people, success is both a reward and an obstacle, an end in itself.

@byronicgirl Read and reread "Emma Zunz", that just-right restraint and sharpness is so telling, a pinnacle truly.

Mastering the vastness is easy, but to remain at ease within it is far more difficult.

Just found this, bought it at a NYC flea market back then. To think that a 5 issue subscription was only $2 in the 40's, today it would only be $8 a copy. A magazine so beautifully made says a lot about the wealth of the country and how serious the working spirit was.

Thomas Sowell turns 95 today. I've benefited immensely from several of his books, a wisdom lighthouse. Wish him many more years to come.

@TellYourSonThis Reminds of the connection between the words virtue, virtuoso and virtus.

The best that can come from the absence of childhood love is probably King Lear’s realization on that Dover cliff after the loss of the throne, and more lamentable is the world full of too many throne-less Lears, all simply because Cordelia is his daughter and not his mother.

been staying up late for the past few days. While lying there, my mind began flashing with random, disjointed images. Oddly enough, they had nothing to do with me at all. As exhaustion set in, the idea that "we don't have thoughts; thoughts have us" felt increasingly accurate.

Spring, autumn and winter nights are nights, only summer nights are extensions of the day.

@maintcraft @scotthraines The finest exchange took place between two pairs of red beady eyes shooting beams at each other. a Dionysus dialogue.

[feng @JfengY]

@maintcraft @scotthraines Or a symposium because can’t drink anymore.

Just successfully taught my two-year old the word "chill" and the combo "mama chill".
