STILLNESS

A man who writes about death, often wants to die.

-Ernest Anonway

Life accumulates at the peripheries of vision. It is only by looking elsewhere that you notice its ghostly imprint.

An idea starts to be interesting when you get scared of taking it to its logical conclusion.

Nassim Taleb aka deadlift & ribeye

This one is mine.

"A wall of a thousand miles is useless if but ten feet are missing."

What the fuck is that?

When you eat half a pie, there's only half a pie left

>a man who writes about death has never for on moment lived

If you expect nothing you may be pleased by anything

But how will you support a wall with only ten feet? That's a single foot every hundred miles, or two feet for stability ever 200 miles. How wide are the feet?

you what mate

>a man who writes has never for a moment lived

if any1 wants to read great aphorism I recommend Novalis, sure some of them are kinda crazy or even laughably absurd but they are certainly all stimualiting food for thought

a shallow tree atop a hill proclaims he is the tallest

For every Aryan man there are a thousand niggers

To say the universe is infinite isn't to say that "anything can happen"...it is to say that "everything will happen". At some point a room full of monkeys with a typewriter will produce the collected works of Shakespeare.....although you'll probably still never get laid

He who's not busy being born is busy dying

Only dead fish swim against the stream.
