I’m finding that I shouldn’t trust myself pre-coffee or post-tequila.

“It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot. Nobody knows how many rebellions besides political rebellions ferment in the masses of life which people earth. Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a constraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if the seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex.”

The things I learn while studying for the LSAT.
The Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski refused to synchronize the performers of his String Quartet (1964) as a part of his commentary on the regimentation of life under Communism. In this piece, decisions by the performers about how the four independent written parts will come together yield slightly different textures for each new performance, but these are always musical and coherent - suggesting society could be similarly organized without a “master sychronizer” like the state. Lutoslawski was inspired to compose such “limited aleatory music” after attending a Cage performance in 1960.

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

“Work is a time to dream about travel and write notes to yourself, but it’s also time to tie up your loose ends. Work is when you confront the problems you might otherwise be tempted to run away from. Work is how you settle your financial and emotional debts- so that your travels are not an escape from your real life but a discovery of your real life.”

“Do not let your fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark
In the hopeless swamps of
the not quite
the not yet
and the not at all.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish.
The world you desire can be won.
It exists.
It is real.
It is possible
And it is yours.” —Ayn Rand (via llyssab)
