Heart

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

Random quote of the day:

“Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.”

—Chögyam Trungpa, Shamballa: Path of the Sacred Warrior

Direction

Posted by PJ under change of mind, growth, philosophy, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Let’s suppose a philosopher who after having published several works declares in a new book: “Up to now I was going in the wrong direction. I am going to begin all over. I think now that I was wrong.” No one would take him seriously any more. And yet he would then be giving proof that he is worthy of thought.”

—Albert Camus, Notebooks 1942-1952, tr. Justin O’Brien

What I said: I’m just going to take it easy and hope the body aches don’t show up.

What VRS typed: I’m just going to take it easy and hope the body eggs don’t show up.

(Those body eggs are nefarious.)

Desk

Posted by PJ under heroes, quote of the day, work
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“True heroism is minutes, hours, weeks, year upon year of the quiet, precise, judicious exercise of probity and care—with no one there to see or cheer. This is the world. Just you and the job, at your desk.”

At stake

Posted by PJ under action and activism, black lives matter, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Sometimes people feel powerless and overwhelmed by it all. One doesn’t have to be a frontline activist…Everyone in the community has a role to play in transforming our community. Everyone must ask themselves, what is at stake in these times?”

—Bree Newsome Bass, Cornell Chronicle, February 14, 2019

Fail

Posted by PJ under failure, originality, quote of the day, success
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation. He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. And if it be said, that continual success is a proof that a man wisely knows his powers, — it is only to be added, that, in that case, he knows them to be small.

—Herman Melville, “Hawthorne and His Mosses,” The Literary World, August 1850

Splinter

Posted by PJ under american, community, quote of the day, splintering
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“This is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants. If that happens, who then will speak for America? Who then will speak for the common good?

—Barbara Jordan, opening speech, Democratic National Convention, 1976
