Spills from a conscience

We're starting to feel
We stayed together out of fear
Of dying alone
I've been slipping through the years
My old clothes don't fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts
Of the people I've been

It's like my heart can't take
My fall in love every day
And I feel like a fool

I have to face the truth
That no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I'm something worth holding on to

These times I think of leaving
But it's something I'll never do

'Cause you can do better than me
But I can't do better than you

Death Cab for Cutie- You can do better than me

It's as if my feelings were emptied by these lyrics so well put.

Quand il s’agit d’un système de pensées, il doit nécessairement se présenter dans un ordre architectonique : en d’autres termes, chaque partie du système en doit supporter une autre, sans que la réciproque soit vraie ; la pierre de base supporte tout le reste, sans que le reste la supporte, et le sommet est supporté par le reste, sans supporter rien à son tour. Au contraire, lorsqu’il s’agit d’une pensée une, si ample qu’elle soit, elle doit s’offrir avec la plus parfaite unité. Sans doute, pour la commodité de l’exposition, elle souffre d’être divisée en parties ; mais l’ordre de ces parties est un ordre organique, si bien que chaque partie y contribue au maintien du tout, et est maintenue à son tour par le tout ; aucune n’est ni la première, ni la dernière ; la pensée dans son ensemble doit de sa clarté à chaque partie, et il n’est si petite partie qui puisse être entendue à fond, si l’ensemble n’a été auparavant compris. — Or il faut bien qu’un livre ait un commencement et une fin, et il différera toujours en cela d’un organisme ; mais, d’autre part, le contenu devra ressembler à un système organique : d’où il suit qu’ici il y a contradiction entre la forme et la matière.

The only thing I knew how to do was keep on keeping on;
Like a bird that flew, tangled up in blue.

-Bob Dylan

sometimes you just wish you could produce that kind of beauty.

J'ai beaucoup de mal à me saisir et à me comprendre. Que je me regarde dans le mirroir pendant de longues minutes, me fixant les pupilles ou bien dans les pensées sableuses avant mon sommeil, je ne fais jamais que l'experience introspective du vague et des horizons lointains. Lorsque je me plonge dans l'étude de grands systèmes, je vois sur un radeau une silhouette qui vascille au bout d'un fil; dont l'extremité est à jamais dissoute.

Pour développer l'admiration et l'imagination, il faudrait pouvoir à tout moment s'allonger sur le dos dans la rue. Car c'est d'en bas que l'on voit ce qu'il y a de plus haut.

Lately I've been very fond of this pun:
Me says: "Sorry I can't come, I have to finish this paper."
X says: "Come on, when is it due?"
Me says: "It's due on yesterday."
:(

Anyways I thought this was pretty brilliant http://www.ftrain.com/archive_ftraintwo_27.html eventhough it does lacks some sarcasm.

From my grandmother:

Thinking of you
Whishing you all the joy
Your heart can hold at Easter.

Since I was born she has not missed a single occasion to send me a card.

There is something serious between me and literature or poetry. Something very serious...Still I have yet to convey it.

Again, I was going to say something...maybe, maybe some other time.

Oh dear me! How pitiful a sight are thee!
What a miserable! miserable man I am!

Tes paupières, tes joues sont des feuilles blanches,
Qui dans les expirations de vos corps jouisseurs
S'entachent des doux mots que ton amant prononce.

It seems as if the poetic attitude was impossible or ridiculous in today's world; as if it possessed something fundamentally anti-modern .

La conscience...ce léger voile diaphane, ces volutes vaporeuses de l'esprit enrobées de chair.

Wasting your time is thinking it can fit in your pocket.

So last night I decided, after much disorganized deliberation, to start a new life as a vegetarian. Will it last...?

Partout où je fuis sur les latitudes,
Constamment me poursuit la solitude.
Je me suis abrités aux altitudes,
D'aucun secours ne fut cette atitude!
Je dois, pour éviter la lassitude,
M'écouler sur les traits des longitudes.

Yeah so you're eating a salad of tomatoes and then you're wondering about our tasting capability. Wow how did the first man who tasted feel? And finally you also realize that you too had never tasted once.

Tonight, in the eye of the moon, as the frost shivers on the grass, as the smoke flies away from the cheminees, as I listen to Aznavour and have tears in my eyes; I want to love the world, passionately, wonderfully and entirely.

I sometimes have this very specific urge which soaks in the gloomy waters of melancholy and consists of savagely poking my right eye out with a compass.
