'Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.'

'I too will press flowers between the pages of Shakespeare's sonnets.'

Carl Jung once said “No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.”

@_motherslug He's my favorite writer, and I thought I was 85-90% through his corpus, but this one eluded me.

@paul_jkrause Absalom, Absalom! Hands down his greatest masterpiece. Closely followed by Light in August, The Sound and the Fury, and The Wild Palms.

@the_book_land An all time favorite passage

[The Book Land @the_book_land]

'But even so, amid the tornadoed Atlantic of my being, do I myself still for ever centrally disport in mute calm; and while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy.'

Melville,
Moby-Dick

[Hesse Philosophy @HermannHessed]

“Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.”

— James Joyce, Ulysses

[Michael Goodwin Hilton @AuthorMGH]

"Writers, artists, philosophers, undergraduates at coffeeshops, whoever is interested in building a new kind of bridge (like modernism) between the future and the past must be audacious relative to the scale of the manifold transformations at hand."

[Sohrab Ahmari @SohrabAhmari]

In 2026, we are going through a second phase of the Copernican Revolution.

The first one disrupted the classical picture of an orderly cosmos with man at its center.

This one is disrupting our already-fragile account humanity itself.

One of the greatest. Rest gently, Mr. Rollins.

[Greg Cwik @cwik_greg]

The best critic of the 20th century.

[Writing The Republic @Write4Republic]

There is an overt antisemitic movement building in the most radical and subversive realms of our country. People are only seeing glimpses of it now. The bleeding edge of it. But there is open nazi rhetoric building across social media.

I've been threatened by these people, and they very much hope to see a new movement to exterminate the Jewish people.

If you don't believe me, it doesn't matter. It's a major problem that is already bleeding into the mainstream.

Real evil, just like 80 years ago, is back. It's not exclusive to right or left, both have loud and powerful voices pushing this rhetoric closer and closer to the mainstream.

It's coming. And good and decent people MUST stand against it.

[Edmund @Kulambq]

'My roots go down to the depths of the world, through earth dry with brick, and damp earth, through veins of lead and silver. I am all fibre. All tremors shake me, and the weight of the earth is pressed to my ribs.'

Virginia Woolf, from 'The Waves'

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

In Jerusalem, hundreds of Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, and others are marching in the annual Interfaith March for Human Rights and Peace.

Just one of the many beautiful things I love about Israel. 🇮🇱💙
