You will never enjoy the sweetness of a quiet prayer unless you shut your mind to all worldly desires and temporal affairs. ~Norbert of Xanten
#quotes #norbert-of-xanten

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai
#quotes #osamu-dazai #life #mother #hardship

The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it. Not just wanted, but felt she deserved. If the world didn't owe her a living, as her mother repeatedly warned her, it owed her a break. She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one. ~James Robertson

It's the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum. Playin' them guitars like shootin' from a gun. Keepin' up the rhythm, steady as a clock. Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock. ~Marty Stuart

I think we were colonized by aliens 250,000 years ago, and they genetically altered our DNA to be primates into homo erectus and humans. I'm very interested in how we evolved so suddenly, which obviously ties in with the alien thing. ~Al Jourgensen
