Random quote of the day:

“The longer you live, the harder it becomes. To grab them. Each little moment as it arrives. To be living in something other than the past or the future. To be actually here.”

—Matt Haig, How to Stop Time

Science-Art

Posted by PJ under art, quote of the day, science, truth

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.”

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.”
