"A bit too literary/unstructured for my liking atm, which makes it hard to think about concretely. Some beautiful lines/paragraphs tho." Jul 28, 2018 07:23PM

"McLuhan is the best type of writer. He’s a Rorschach test. When I’m in a certain mindspace, I’ll see one set of interpretations. When I’m in another mindspace, I’ll see another.

I look forward to reviewing my notes before moving forward in the book."

"When a culture is decadent, it means that the satarist is happy, whilst the rest are helpless.

Apparently Erasmus & Martin Luther’s 16th Century shared that attribute with ours."

Neil Gaiman
“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

Fulton J. Sheen
“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”
Fulton J. Sheen

Albert Camus
“Live to the point of tears.”
Albert Camus

George Orwell
“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”
George Orwell

Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
