“I often dream about falling. Such dreams are commonplace to the ambitious or those who climb mountains. Lately I dreamed I was clutching at the face of a rock but it would not hold. Gravel gave way. I grasped for a shrub, but it pulled loose, and in cold terror 1 fell into the abyss. Suddenly I realized that my fall was relative; there was no bottom and no end. A feeling of pleasure overcame me. I realized that what I embody, the principle of life, cannot be destroyed. It is written into the cosmic code, the order of the universe. As I continued to fall in the dark void, embraced by the vault of the heavens, I sang to the beauty of the stars and made my peace with the darkness.”

“Continuous expansion is a fundamental tenet of economics. Therefore one of the fundamentals of the universe itself. Because everything is economics. Physics is cosmic economics, biology is cellular economics, the humanities are social economics, psychology is mental economics, and so on.”

“So everything is expanding. But it can’t happen in contradiction to the law of conservation of matter-energy. No matter how efficient your throughput is, you can’t get an output larger than the input.”

Dreams

“I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it — keep going, keep going come what may.
But what is your final goal, you may ask. That goal will become clearer, will emerge slowly but surely, much as the rough draught turns into a sketch, and the sketch into a painting through the serious work done on it, through the elaboration of the original vague idea and through the consolidation of the first fleeting and passing thought.”

Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890) Dutch post-Impressionist painter (1853-1890)

“Truly the eye was made to cast a lineament, a conducting wire between the most heterogeneous things. Such a wire, of maximum ductility, should allow us to understand, in a minimum of time, the relationship which connect, without possible discharge of continuity, innumerable physical and mental structures.... the key (of the mental prison, ed.) lies in a free unlimited pay of analogies....”

André Breton (1896–1966) French writer

“By three things man standeth in this life; by which three God is worshipped, and we be speeded, kept and saved.
The first is, use of man’s Reason natural; the second is, common teaching of Holy Church; the third is, inward gracious working of the Holy Ghost. And these three be all of one God: God is the ground of our natural reason; and God, the teaching of Holy Church; and God is the Holy Ghost. And all be sundry gifts to which He willeth that we have great regard, and attend us thereto. For these work in us continually all together; and these be great things.”

“Listen, if stars are still lit it means
there is someone who needs them,
It means someone wants to love.
Without sacredness in the emptiness
of this world of ours,
the heart of man fades like a flower,
no star is ever lost,
the long rains will continue to fall.”

“The claim that Darwin’s theories were at the core of eugenics, the racial science at the core of Nazism, are not new. They are not revisionist history made upon the revelations of the Death Camps. These claims precede The Holocaust by several decades. American and British icons of science, namely Darwin’s relatives and colleagues, were making this claim before Adolf Hitler was even born, and continued to do so on up through the end of WWII.”

“There are a few people at our side who, despite the intensity of a feeling, manage to have lucidity. People who help us to move forward, giving us the strength we need to close doors that have remained open, doors that for too long have continued to let in expectations and hopes, fears and disappointments. These people can be called true friends.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Ci sono alcune persone al nostro fianco che, nonostante l'intensità di un sentimento, riescono ad avere lucidità. Persone che ci aiutano ad andare avanti, dandoci la forza di cui abbiamo bisogno per chiudere porte che sono rimaste aperte, porte che per troppo tempo hanno continuato a far entrare aspettative e speranze, paure e delusioni. Queste persone possono essere chiamate vere amiche.
