Notes: 53 / 5 months ago"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution — then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise."- from Wanted, a New Pleasure, 1931 by Aldous Huxley [July 26, 1894 -November 22, 1963]

Notes: 106 / 1 year ago from liquidnight"All we have to believe with is our senses: the tools we use to perceive the world, our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end."- Neil Gaiman, American Gods from liquidnight

Notes: 27 / 1 year ago from homeofthevain"Last night I dreamed I died, and that my life had been rearranged into some kind of theme park.
And all my friends were walking up and down the boardwalk. And my dead Grandmother was selling cotton candy out of a little shack. And there was this big ferris wheel, about a half mile out in the ocean, half in and half out of the water. And all my old boyfriends were on it. With their new girlfriends. And the boys were waving and shouting, and the girls were saying “eeek.” Then they disappeared under the surface of the water, and when they came up again they were laughing and gasping for breath.
In this dream I’m on a tightrope, and I’m tipping back and forth trying to keep my balance. And below me are all my relatives, and if I fall I’ll crush them. This long thin line. This tightrope, made of sound.
