I am not well; I could have built the Pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling on to life and reason.

True heroism is minutes, hours, weeks, year upon year of the quiet, precise, judicious exercise of probity and care — with no one there to see or cheer. This is the world.

“Thunderstorms were what death, and dramatic events, generally should be like, but usually were not; the idea that our life’s dramas rarely look as dramatic as they are. Our most cataclysmic moments are typically free of gravitas, of necessary thunder; a person dies, but instead of the sky darkening and lightning striking, the sun continues to shine and the birds to sing.”

—Alain de Botton, from “Drama or Melodrama.” Art: Amy J. Greving.

what does this wondrous, magical sky speak of?

it speaks of nothing,

it reeks

of stale beer,

petrichor,

and unfinished things.

  then it competes.

with a dead city

and its undead lights.

One who pays some attention to history will not be surprised if those who cry most loudly that we must smash and destroy are later found among the administrators of some new system of repression.

“I want to just be lazy and I want some of the people around me to be doing things, because that makes me feel comfortable and safe - and I want some of them to be doing nothing at all, because they can be graceful and companionable for me.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
