Cats

Random quote of the day:

“Cats don’t give up their secrets easily. But the challenge is why I’m a cat person rather than a dog person. Dogs — they’re just like us! They present little mystery. Cats are the more cerebral companion. The fun is figuring them out.”

—Farhad Manjoo, “I Can’t Stop Wondering What’s Going On Inside My Cat’s Head,” The New York Times, August 27, 2021

Trauma

Posted by PJ under memories, mind, quote of the day, trauma
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Memories of traumatic experiences are a curious thing. Some are vivid; some are pale; pretty much all of them have been emended in some way, great or small. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to our curated reels. We remember the trivial and forget the exceptional. Our minds truly have minds of their own.”

—Jennifer Senior, “What Bobby Mcilvaine Left Behind,” The Atlantic, September 2021

Science-Art

Posted by PJ under art, quote of the day, science, truth
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art, science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science, art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous.”

—Raymond Chandler, “Great Thought,” February 19, 1938, The Notebooks of Raymond Chandler

Geography

Posted by PJ under place, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The ripples of geography continue to be traced on our inner surfaces, even if our experience there was fleeting and seemed like nothing to us at the time. No matter how long ago the experience was, its power, its healing, sits in wait, sometimes very deep, other times just waiting to be called back from within.”

Herself

Posted by PJ under becoming, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“In the male coming-of-age story, the boy creates himself. In the female coming-of-age story, the girl is created by forces around her. In the feminist coming-of-age story, the girl resists the forces and becomes herself.”
