Question any doctrine that drains one's expansive energies

"He who delights in solitude is either a wild beast or a god." —Friedrich Nietzsche

Too serious about art but not serious enough about life

"It takes close attention to see what is happening in front of you. It takes work, pious effort, to see what you are looking at. He was mesmerized by this, the depths that were possible in the slowing of motion, the things to see, the depths of things so easy to miss in the shallow habit of seeing." Don DeLillo - POINT OMEGA

Haiku

"Time slows down when I'm here. Time becomes blind. I feel the landscape more than I see it. I never know what day it is. I never know if a minute has passed or an hour. I dont get old here." Don DeLillo - Point Omega

War in three lines

"I am not talking about secrets or deceptions,I'm talking about being yourself. If you reveal everything, bare every feeling, ask for understanding, you lose something crucial to your sense of yourself. You need to know things the others don't know. It's what noone knows about you that allows you to know yourself." Don DeLillo - Point Omega

Somewhere South of nowhere

"Elsewhere, everywhere, my day begins in conflict, every step I take on a city street is conflict, other people are conflict." Don De Lillo - Point Omega
