In aphorism, poetry, proverb, rumination on 20110227 at 11:09
Who discovers the world without discovering the self has fooled oneself twice.
Fantasy may not be feasible, but it is not futile.
Music is an elixir that allows the brain to just be.
To refuse is to resist;
To need, is to subsist;
To desire, is to exist;
To give, is not to have missed.
To dream without living is an illusion; to live without dreaming is quietus.
The fool are careless with sparks in a dry field.
The fool open a can of worms without intention of going fishing.

In aphorism, proverb, rumination on 20110224 at 11:50
Fear finds the able man lame.
Mankind is not born with equal ability, but without equal opportunity, true ability is never to be.
Life bears only the rules we impose on it.
Silence is often, not a slight, but a stall.
One needn’t give up sight of the pear to savor the peach.
The distant rose bears no thorns; but neither is her scent to be savored.
The curse of the woman is simply thus: if a she is to truly know a man, she must sacrifice her flesh that he might share his mind.
Great is the leader who can unite foes, not in purpose, but in recognizing similarity, extending fellowship, and furthering understanding.
Make-believe in childhood makes belief in adulthood.

It is in the midst of darkness that light is born.
In the greatest darkness, the smallest light makes the biggest impact.

The dead bull cannot shit.
Truth in blasphemy, blindness in devotion.
What is done without awareness is done with ignorance.
