“Thoughts are the shadows

of our feelings - always

darker, emptier, and simpler.”

-Nietzsche

A feeling can be simple, and a thought can be

“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.”

What if you’re on a donut?

“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves.

The process never ends until we die.

– Eleanor Roosevelt

“One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.” – Angelou

here. I’m not gointg to write anymore.

What’s the use?

The Beautiful, is what is well formed and aesthetically pleasing, whereas the Sublime is what has the power to

compel and destroy us.

- Burke
