Foo Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thus trickster seems unethical because he or shechallenges the “proper” codes of“civilized” conduct and the hierarchies that attempt to ensure thateverything stays strictly in its proper place. Indeed, trickster isconcerned neither with the "proper" nor with “place"; he or she isalways on the move, simultaneously grounded and ungrounded, the artfulmaster of luminal space-time, irony, parody, and dissimulation.Trickster's is the lie that leads to truth, and it isarticulated through humor.Peter Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qualia Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 "Those worlds in space are as countless as all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the Earth. Each of those worlds is as real as ours. In every one of them, there's a sucsession of incidence, events, occurences which influence its future. Countless worlds, numberless moments, an immensity of space and time. And our small planet, at this moment, here we face a critical branch-point in the history. What we do with our world, right now, will propagate down through the centuries and powerfully affect the destiny of our descendants. It is well within our power to destroy our civilization, and perhaps our species as well. If we capitulate to superstition, or greed, or stupidty we can plunge our world into a darkness deeper than time between the collapse of classical civilization and the Italian Renaissaince. But, we are also capable of using our compassion and our intelligence, our technology and our wealth, to make an abundant and meaningful life for every inhabitant of this planet. To enhance enormously our understanding of the Universe, and to carry us to the stars." Carl Sagan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qualia Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 "Many parents are abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles. In fact, the Girl Scouts education seminar girls are directed to study the example of role models. Of the fifty role models listed, only three have a briefly-mentioned religious background – all the rest are feminists, lesbians, or Communists." - Rep.

random Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Kind of a long quote from the Tao Te Ching24. EXCESSHe who stretchesbeyond his natural reach,does not stand firmlyupon the ground;just as hewho travels at a speedbeyond his means,cannot maintain his pace.He who boastsis not enlightened,and he who is self-righteousdoes not gain respectfrom those who are meritous;thus, he gains nothing,and will fall into disrepute.Since striving,boasting and self-righteousness,are all unnecessary traits,the sage considers them excesses,and has no need of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seldom Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 And there's something on yer mind you wanna be sayingThat somebody someplace oughta be hearin'But it's trapped on yer tongue and sealed in yer headAnd it bothers you badly when your layin' in bedAnd no matter how you try you just can't say itAnd yer scared to yer soul you just might forget itAnd yer eyes get swimmy from the tears in yer headAnd yer pillows of feathers turn to blankets of leadAnd the lion's mouth opens and yer staring at his teethAnd his jaws start closin with you underneathAnd yer flat on your belly with yer hands tied behindAnd you wish you'd never taken that last detour signAnd you say to yourself just what am I doin'On this road I'm walkin', on this trail I'm turnin'On this curve I'm hangingOn this pathway I'm strolling, in the space I'm takingIn this air I'm inhalingAm I mixed up too much, am I mixed up too hardWhy am I walking, where am I runningWhat am I saying, what am I knowingOn this guitar I'm playing, on this banjo I'm frailin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
