CANNOT WRITE AGAIN

The blogger interface is working against me again. A phrase at a time. Crazy making. Can't go on writing when everything stops suddenly and I have to wait for water to boil again, and again, and again.
Once life is finished it acquires a sense, up to that point it has not got a sense, its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous.

The beliefs and opinions of a person often constitute a very superficial layer of the human psyche. They do not have any integral relationship with the deeper psychic forces. They remain in one region of the mind without bringing about any radical changes in the core of personality, which determines the attitude to life.

Justice is what love looks like in public.

The mountains don't lie to you; they stand for the things that don't change, that stay true to themselves. They've been around a hundred million years and they'll be around a good while more, I reckon. They keep you humble. They put you in your place.
NOT KNOWING IS TRUE KNOWLEDGE. PRESUMING TO KNOW IS A DISEASE.

There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.

WHEN YOU SCREW UP TRY TO COVER IT UP LIKE A CAT.

THE WHOLE SECRET LIES IN CONFUSING THE ENEMY SO HE CANNOT FATHOM OUR REAL INTENT.

WE'LL KNOW OUR DISINFORMATION PROGRAM IS COMPLETE WHEN EVERYTHING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BELIEVE IS FALSE.

In this unbroken intense booming symphony, suddenly there is the tinkling of a bell so faint that I almost think I am hearing things. It is like the trembling cry of a cicada on a late autumn night. It is so ephemeral, so delicate, so pitiful, yet it is so distinct and clear above the chaotic booming of the drum that it is unmistakable.
