Instant Sex
For flavor, instant sex will never supersede the stuff you have to peel and cook.
— Quentin Crisp
The Antidote to Death is Life
What can one do? Go home, love your children, try not to bicker, eat well, walk in the rain, feel the sun on your face and laugh loud and often, as much as possible, and especially at yourself. Because the only antidote to death is not poetry, or drama, or miracle drugs, or a roomful of technical expertise and good intentions. The antidote to death is life.
Theresa Brown, “Perhaps Death Is Proud; More Reason to Savor Life,”
The New York Times
Seasons
Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, & resign yourself to the influences of each.
—Henry David Thoreau
A Happy Life
A happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word “happy” would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
— Carl Jung
Change
To insist that diligent thought brings an understanding of change is to limit life to the comprehensible.
— William Least Heat-Moon, Blue Highways
