The seed you sow does not come to life unless it has first died…
xxxx~ 1 Corinthians 15:36
When should one lend oneself to action? What constitutes an act? And may it not be that not to act is sometimes a higher form of action? Jesus was silent before Pontius Pilate. The Buddha delivered his greatest sermon by holding a flower up to the multitude to behold.
xxxx~ Henry Miller, Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world…for that reason the world hates you.
xxxx~ John 15:19If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world…for that reason the world hates you.
That’s the whole trouble. You can’t ever find a place that’s nice and peaceful, because there isn’t any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you’re not looking, somebody’ll sneak up and write “Fuck you” right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it’ll say “Holden Caulfield” on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it’ll say “Fuck you.”
