Today's thought:

Today I'm gonna try to forget that I almost went into a diabetic coma with the chocolate, candies, pies, tarts, cakes, cookies and other lethal sugary delights and get REAL! What the hell was this about anyway? (P.V.)

Nico / Interview / 1966

Today's thought:

And the mutual connections and consequences of actions.  Was there any other possibility?  This must be what constituted the categories of a god.
These patterns.
But if there was no higher force - did it really make much difference?
(Hakan Nesser)

Today's thought:

If there really was a creator or a force - or at the very least an all-seeing eye - it must be able to look down from its elevated position and make out the lines, the veins and arteries in time and space.  The structure that seem so incomprehensible from our usual worm's eye-view (Hakan Nesser)

Today's thought:

I live by the river - not - I live by the freeway and soon I will be living by the train-metro-freeway combo.  Bad for the lungs - good for transportation (P.V)

Israel Vibration / On the rock / 1995

Today's thought:

I have to go to France in January to visit my family but I am broke.  God spoke to me last night and said that if each one of you, loyal readers, give me $10.00, not only He will love you more, but He will also forgive your most recent sins! (P.V)

I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws ( Charles Beaudelaire)

Thought of the day;

Here at home, we don't murder or imprison our artists. We starve them. About 275,000 books were published in the United States last year. Despite this vast number, the Wall Street Journal estimates that fewer than a thousand writers earn enough from writing that they don't need a day — or maybe a night — job to support themselves. That's about two out of every thousand writers. Most writers earn around $28,000 a year.
What do our artists have to say that merits public support? Only a word that sustains life, that sustains hope.

P.V.' s pick of the day / Pixies / Monkey gone to heaven / 1989

Today's thought:

If you are perfectly happy with what you've got-specially if what you've got isn't even all that spectacular-then you're dangerous. You're breaking all the rules, you're undermining the sacred economy, you're challenging every assumption that's society's built on 
(Tana French from her book The Likeness)

P.V.'s pick of the day / Patti Smith / Space monkey / 1975

Today's thought:

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they can't be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them (Sydney Smith)

Today's thought:

The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority.  The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority.  The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking (A.A. Milne)

Today's thought:

The only graceful way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved (Russell Lynes)

P.V.'s pick of the day / Bagad Sonerian / Bro dreger / 2010

Today's thought:

Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice (Elizabeth Cady Stanton)

Today's thought:

Some people see things that are and ask, why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that (George Carlin)
