It is some ten months since I put down anything in my journal; it had
become such a familiar friend that I missed it. But I said to myself:

There is something in us,--an incapacity to give forth all that is in us. One might say, God has
given us bow and arrow, but refused us the power to string the bow
and send the arrow straight to its aim.
It is obvious that under such influences my mind became that of...

You have to be always drunk.
That's all there is to it--it's the only way.
So as not to feel the horrible burden of time
that breaks your back and bends you to the earth,
you have to be continually drunk.
But on what?
Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish.
But be drunk.
And if...

Even though God did not exist, Religion would be none the less holy and divine.
God is the sole being who has no need to exist in order to reign.
That which is created by the Mind is more living than Matter.
I believe I have already set down in my notes that Love greatly resembles an...

He added the sugar
To the coffee and milk

And put back the cup
Without speaking to me
He lit a cigarette
He blew some rings
With the smoke
He flicked the ashes

“Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
“There either is or is not, that’s the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it...

“We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.”

VOITSKI:
But I'll tell you something; the man has been
writing on art for twenty-five years, and he doesn't know the very first thing about it. For twenty-five years he

ANTIGONE:
But I will bury him; and if I must die,
I say that this crime is holy: I shall lie down
With him in death, and I shall be as dear
To him as he to me.
It is the dead
Not the living, who make the longest demands:
We die for ever…

We, this people, on a small and lonely planet
