"Those who crusade, not for God in themselves, but against
the devil in others, never succeed in making the world better,
but leave it either as it was, or sometimes perceptibly worse
than what it was, before the crusade began. By thinking
primarily of evil we tend, however excellent our intentions,
to create occasions for evil to manifest itself."
-- Aldous Huxley
"The only war that matters is the war against the imagination.
All others are subsumed by it."
-- Diane DiPrima, "Rant", from Pieces of a Song.
"It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there"
-- William Carlos Williams, "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower"
Pretty soon you’re gonna have to put up one of those widgets that shows the time in every zone…
:-D
New Rule: no freaking out the people on the other side of the world, talking about tomorrow. We already got enough things we’re trying to postpone one more day without worrying about whether today is the tomorrow we forgot to remember yesterday.
Come to think of it an extra tomorrow might would come in handy. Give me someplace to put all the stuff I can’t get done today. Okay I changed my mind. Gimme one of them extra tomorrows. Any more where that one came from?
:D
:D “Tomorrow, tomorrow …” almost feel like breaking out into song. PG, the musical! Curt, may well do but most of the darned things use java script and second, as you know, being a fellow scholar and sometime burner of the midnight oil, the “ordinary” time cycle often means little to us.
:D “Freak out!” Serv, told you this is becoming a musical. More time, huh? I could really insert a mind bending proposition—the one that time doesn’t exist—to further befuddle us. I have one such book in my pop science/ quantum theory library. Life: the time Recursion episode … yikes!
True on both counts. :-) Don’t go “all McKenna” on us with your timewave zero theories, now. ;-) Just kidding.
