when a volcano goes off, it incinerates the careless and cautious alike.

accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise. politicians will philander. you, too, will get old. and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

respect your elders.

the point is:

it's very important that what you do is specific to the medium in which you're doing it, and that you utilise what is specific about that medium to do the work. and if you can't think about why it should be done this way, then it doesn't need to be done.

inequality should not

be woven into the fabric of our lives, people of compassion and goodwill should never journey without hope, and no injustice should endure forever.

I don't smoke

I drink only occasionally, and I'd sooner saw my own feet off than touch anything harder than a double espresso. I don't want to get out of my head: that's where I live.

who is speaking in this way?

... it will always be impossible to know, for the good reason that all writing is itself this special voice, consisting of several indiscernible voices, and that literature is precisely the invention of this voice, to which we cannot assign a specific origin: literature is that neuter, that composite, that oblique, into which every subject escapes, the trap where all identity is lost, beginning with the very identity of the body that writes.

the audacity of hope

I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs, and that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices and meet the challenges that face us.

but then, you know

we have to come to the pool of self-reflection and therein lies the monster of reason.

[21:10:25] имаш някакво земно малко чудо и се чудиш какво да го правиш
[21:10:48] и накрая разбираш, че можеш да го гушкаш, дa си го пъхаш под дрехите, да си топиш краката и да скочиш вътре
[21:10:55] почти нищо друго не остава

столът, на който седеше

е празен.
