Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe.
I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

No man will be free until the last king is strangled by the entrails of the last priest.

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart).”
—E.E. Cummings
“She is exceptionally free of rage, anger, rancor, hostility.
She is a profoundly gentle person.
I love this in her.
But this must be one reason for her terribly self-destructive history.
She’s rarely known how to defend herself, except by withdrawal (tuning out, running away).”
—Susan Sontag
“The love of monuments, relics, deeply understood, is evocative—I have lost all interested in them, except historically.
I know the phase during which I loved them was a historical one, and right.
I could stand in one of those castles and smell a whole period.
And reading Spengler afterwards, who gave significance and the symbolical meaning of houses, cathedrals, gardens, mosques etc., augmented the power of this feeling.
The imagination can be stirred by an Egyptian mummy, Indian spear, an arcade, a dress that is falling to dust, a broken vase, an armless statue.
Instead of fuming against the tourist, the organized and effusive conscientiousness etc.
I went about ruminating the past, eating it, digesting it, reflecting it, and then it was finished.”
—Anaïs Nin
“I might not be in love, but I’m in like.
I’m in serious like.”

“We attract to ourselves what we hold inside.
Every circumstance, every person, and every situation that we attract and experience is based on what is inside of us.
Your life is a reflection of what you hold inside you, and what you hold inside you is always under your control.”
—Rhonda Byrne
