J.D. Salinger says "no" to a movie of Catcher in the Rye

[Maria Popova @themarginalian]

"To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight."

"The average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of cliches. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over 80 percent of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought."

~ H. L. Mencken

“Mistrust all who talk much of their justice! Verily, their souls lack more than honey. And when they call themselves “the good and the just,” do not forget that they would be pharisees, if only they had power.”

~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Bukowski and the Linda King sculpture

[Nina Antonia @NinaAntonia13]

'Though thy slumber may be deep
Yet thy spirit shall not sleep
There are shades which will not vanish
There are thoughts thou canst not banish
By a power to thee unknown
Thou canst never be alone
Thou art wrapt as with a shroud
Thou art gathered in a cloud
& forever shalt thou dwell
In the spirit of this spell' (Byron/Lancelot Speed)

“All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.”

"Hemingway feels it from the grave
every time the bulls run through the streets of
Pamplona
again
he sits up
the skeleton rattles
the skull wants a drink
the eyeholes want sunlight
the young bulls are beautiful,
Ernest
and you were
too
no matter
what they say
now."

-- Charles Bukowski
