where I want to be

Home is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be, where I'll be
-- Talking Heads

What Love Is

If I know what love is it's because of you.

Timidity

No. It isn’t if you are going to be immortal, but if you are going to die there is no time for timidity, simple because timidity makes you cling to something that exists only in your thoughts. It soothes you while everything is at a lull, but then the awesome, mysterious world will open its mouth for you, as it open for every one of us, and then you will realize that your sure ways were not sure at all. Being timid prevents us from examining and exploiting our lot as men.
--Don Juan via Carlos Castaneda

The Alchemist

The boy didn't know what a person's "destiny" was.
It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives.
-- The Alchemist

You are a Genius

You are a Genius all the time.
-- Jack Kerouac

weird world

One must assume responsibility for being in a weird world. We are in a weird world, you know. For you the world is weird because if you’re not bored with it you’re at odds with it. For me the world is weird because it is stupendous., awesome, mysterious unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, at this marvelous time. I wanted to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.
--Don Juan via Carlos Castaneda

explore. dream. discover.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.
-- Mark Twain

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start.

Technical Difficulties

Drew this one the 11th but had some technical difficulties (read: I lost my flash card and couldn't find it anywhere). The card was discovered this morning so the world is now again as it should be (phew!)


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 when i see you sticky as lips
as licky as trips
i can't lick that far
but when you pout
the way you shout out loud
it makes me want to start
and when i see you happy as a girl
that swims in a world of magic show
it makes me bite my fingers through
to think i could've let you go
--Wish, The Cure

the lorax

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get Better.
It's not.
--The Lorax, Dr. Seuss

I know nothing

Now, he thought, that all these transitory things have slipped away from me again, I stand once more beneath the sun, as I once stood as a small child. Nothing is mine, I know nothing, I possess nothing, I have learned nothing.
-- Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

analysing

The intellect has no object to "analysing" the unconscious as a passive object; on the contrary such an activity would coincide with our rational expectations. But to let the unconscious go its own way and to experience it as a reality is something beyond the courage and capacity of the average European (or American). He prefers to simply not understand this problem. For spiritually week-kneed this is the better course, since the thing is not without dangers.
-- C.G. Jung

will travel with books

 Never trust anyone who hasn't brought a book with them.
-- Lemony Snicket

put into order

When a myth is enacted in a ritual performance or .. when a fairy-tale is told, the healing factor within it acts upon whoever has taken an interest in it and allowed himself to be moved by it in such a way that through this participation he will be brought into connection with an archetypal form of the situation and by this means enabled to put himself "into order."
-- The Grail Legend by Emma Jung and Marie-Louis von Franz

Show me a sane man
and I will cure him for you.
-- Carl Jung

All the secrets of the world are contained in books.
Read at your own risk.

Time for Reading

Wicked people never have time for reading.
It's one of the reasons for their wickedness.
