Live Forever or Die in the Attempt
Jun 3rd
Havermeyer was a lead bombarbier who never missed. Yossarian was a lead bombardier who had been demoted because he no longer gave a damn whether he missed or not. He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt, and his only mission each time he went up was to come down alive. -… More ...
Outlandish Claims
May 31st
Since then there have been wild and wonderful tales of on-stage satanic rituals, sex with dogs, nudity, homosexual acts, the sacrifice of animals, raping of young girls and heavy open drug use. Some of the more outlandish claims that made it on to the internet included a story that he lowered a cage full of… More ...
Reason, Weakness and Chance
May 10th
Every existent is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness and dies by chance. I leaned back and I closed my eyes. But pictures, promptly informed, sprang forward and filled my closed eyes with existences: existence is a repletion which man can never abandon. – Nausea (Jean-Paul Sartre) More ...

Apr 8th
My thought is me: that is why I can’t stop. I exist by what I think .. and I can’t prevent myself from thinking. At this very moment – this is terrible – if I exist, it is because I hate existing. It is I, it is I who pull myself from the nothingness to… More ...
Duller Than Flesh
Apr 7th
I jump to my feet: if only I could stop thinking, that would be something of an improvement. Thoughts are the dullest thing on earth. Even duller than flesh. They stretch out endlessly and they leave a funny taste in the mouth. – Nausea (Jean-Paul Sartre) More ...

Apr 5th
For me the past was only a pensioning off: it was another way of existing, a state of holiday and inactivity; each event, when it had played its part, dutifully packed itself away in a box and became an honorary event: we find it so difficult to imagine nothingness. Now I knew. Things are entirely… More ...
