Quote of the day

[Magical Realist]

I am an incurable poster of quotations. Quotations of all kinds and from all sorts of people and from all eras. It is my way of continuing to involve ourselves in a sort ahistorical literary discourse. It is my diehard conviction that what is relevant and insightful and profound can be said by anyone at any time in just a few words—pithy and sometimes even amusing aphorisms that can slap us in the face like a moment of Zen awakening. Brevity is indeed the soul of wit. The more you can say with less, the better you can communicate new truths and new ways of seeing the world. OTOH, if it takes long paragraphs to say something important, maybe in the end it’s not so important. Maybe you just need to be heard or read instead of being an invisible conduit for enlightenment.

"Few and signally blessed are those whom Jupiter has destined to be cabbage-planters. For they've always one foot on the ground and the other not far from it. Anyone is welcome to argue about felicity and supreme happiness. But the man who plants cabbages I now positively declare to be the happiest of mortals."---Francois Rabelais

“Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.” – Augustine of Hippo
