Care
Posted by PJ under caring, greed, new york, poverty, quote of the day, selfishness
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“I did not see anything [in New York 1886] to help my people. I could see that the Wasichus [Whites] did not care for each other the way our people did before the nation’s hoop was broken. They would take everything from each other if they could, and so there were some who had more of everything than they could use, while crowds of people had nothing at all and maybe were starving. This could not be better than the old ways of my people.”
―Black Elk, Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux

Fear
Posted by PJ under courage and fear, death, purpose, quote of the day
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“How powerful the fear of death is. People go to such great lengths to avoid the fear: mid-life crises, affairs with younger people, cosmetic surgeries, exercise obsessions, accumulating material possessions, procreating to carry on a name, striving to be more and more youthful, and so on. We are frightfully concerned with our own deaths sometimes so much so that we forget the real purpose of our lives.”

Warning: if you send me a card there’s always a possibility it will end up as a part of a box. If there’s correspondence associated with it I’ll scan it and save it, but there’s often a certain ruthlessness involved with arts and crafts projects.
(I welcome all cards. ;-D)

Complaining
Posted by PJ under quote of the day, writers, writing
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“Writing is terrible. Because it is terrible, it is appropriate to complain about it. It is enjoyable to complain about it. Complaining about writing is writing adjacent and therefore entirely professional. It eats up time in which you might otherwise be expected to do more writing.”
—Kelly Link, “Kelly Link’s Advice to Debut Authors: Writing is Terrible, Complaining About it is Fine,” 2019 speech One Story Debutante Ball
