"When fools rush in, they may with their mangled bodies, pave the way for angles". Stapledon 1942 Beyond the Isms

"Use me, break me, but let my breaking be a part of your dread beauty. Use and break this human world. Destory it with frie of frost , of through the consequense of its own folly and half-heartedness, like the countless other lovely tortured worlds that you have so gloriously concieved and coldly discarded. But let the breaking of this human instrument somehow contribute to your music". Stapledon 19? Starmaker.

"This desolate cosmos is absolutely our own. This abject universe where fear mounts in concentric circles, layer upon layer, until the un-nameable is revealed, this universe where our only conveivable destiny is to be pulverised and devoured, we must recognise it absolutely as being our own mental universe. "
Houllibeque on Lovecraft. 2005/6

EM Forster

# Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do belive in Art for Art's sake.

# I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.

# If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.

# I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our own particular path than we have yet got ourselves.

# The crime of suicide lies in its disregard for the feelings of those whom we leave behind.

# We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Dorothy Parker

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong,
And I am Marie of Roumania.

Anais Nin:

Wildblood — Tue, 19 Oct 2004 17:18:55 GMT

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations. "

Nin is a huge inspiration to me, she fought for and sacrificed things that I can not imagine. She battled with the ultimate freedom of objective truth (from within a deception no less!). I like this quote as it is affirmation to myself that all kinds of growth are beautiful, necessary and the order is irrelevant if one is aware. Nin seemed to understand she was to Miller as Maude Gone (sp?) was to Yeats - and yet at the same time she was strong enough not sacrifice her own creativity.
That.
And she wouldnt settle for Miller. Big Ups.

Funny, Sexy-Dorothy Parker

sarahblush — Tue, 19 Oct 2004 04:23:14 GMT

This was the first Dorothy Parker quote I read. I fell in love with her shortly after.

"By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying ---
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying."

And of course...

"Men seldom makes passes
At girls who wear glasses."
