Off the Cuff

• Shall we not rejoice then and revel in the glorious liberty of extract, and quote to the thousandth line? Shall we not have pages like the Pyramids?
  • Samuel Laman Blanchard, "Quotations" as reprinted in Sketches from Life (1846)

• Of all the many and (thanks to a free press) the ever-multiplying blessings attendant upon the "glorious constitution" of literature, not the least precious and profitable to a modern cultivator of systems and syllables, in pamphlets, magazines, and folios, is the right of Quotation.
  • Samuel Laman Blanchard, "Quotations"

• A general disinterest in math and science education is not due to an overabundance of information, but to a deficiency or want of context. The lack of an evolutionary and historical storyline negates a valuable impetus for entry into more recent viewpoints of any subject matter.

• Abundance adduces waste!

• Existence is our penance for Being.

• Music, and art in general, is a kind of therapy, for the artist, and for those who imbibe of it.

• Isolation <=> Domination
  Communication <=> Cooperation

• Give me the words of the man, not characterizations from minions or critics.

• An approach to full consciousness entails a pilgrimage toward the abandonment or subsumption of self-consciousness.

• Create your center-way, between slavery, freedom and subsidiary polarities.

• Recognition (or Rebirth) problem: is any being the same as one may attempt to recall from the past, or cast into the future?

• Life is Good... if you can wait long enough?

• Opposites attract... until the point of oblivion (or merger into harmonious, periodic & infinite motion)?

• Absence entails unity entails plurality &tc., &tc., &tc...

• A savior rises within followers, leading by the spirit which becomes their body and blood.

• ...Emptiness begat timespace begat energymatter begat lifedeath...
  and We celebrate "an eternal Light that is Good!" and fills our negligible universe with the infinite.

• God is Good is...

• Try not to become what is feared.

• Respect the living and the dead, for there is experience of which you would not dream.

• Raise the dead by attempting to understand what was said.

• I have sadly reached the conclusion: "I am an idiot." My only saving grace: "I am not alone!"

• The keys to the future and past are obvious: inertia, and high speed or mass beg one forward; entering, through the written Word, forgotten thoughts of previous travelers, leads back. The problems relate to locating the finest of exits from, and finding the small, hidden entrances into, the finest of presence.

• Listening more than speaking comes easily with a slow realization that the unknown is vastly greater than the known.

• An aging life: abstraction of distraction.

• Democratic socialism might slow the acceleration of a capitalistic economy, its waste, and the destruction of life support systems provided by our singular Earth.
