   "...those thoughts of ours that are
Concentrated in books, as light in diamonds"

--J Stanyan Bigg

"It is conceivable that if all of humanity suddenly decided to change its behavior, right now, we would emerge after 2050 with most everything intact, and we would be 'OK.' We don’t think that’s realistic." (via @auntbeast)

"Gossamer

Silver
Like a whippoorwill
Insuring pay

Joining quietness
Joining stealth
Joining sweetness
Joining literature

Chosen and sweeping
Of gossamer
Looking
The secrecy of pity

Faithful and unfaithful
Expressing
Homeward-bound and loud
Crestfallen and immediate
A diadem of crowns

Mapped

Pyrite
Disgrace
A coterie
In grass
Reviewing"

--Robot X, 180.

"...but if a thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well, and that counts double if a thing was never worth doing in the first place. I feel Joyce would agree with me here."
