“Midway this way of life
we're bound upon,
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
Where the right road was wholly lost and gone”
The Divine Comedy of
Dante Alighieri
Cantica I (L'INFERNO)
Translated by Dorothy L. Sayers, 1949
"At any moment that you find yourself hesitating, or if at any moment you find yourself putting off until tomorrow trying some new piece of behavior that you could do today, or doing something you've done before, then all you need to do is glance over your left shoulder, and there will be a fleeting shadow. That shadow represents your death, and at any moment it might step forward, place its hand on your shoulder and take you. So that the act that you are presently engaged in might be your very last act and therefore fully representative of you as your last act on this planet." - Carlos Castaneda, Don Juan

The information you have is not what you want. The information you want is not what you need. The information you need is not what you can get. The information you can get costs more than you want to pay Finagle’s Law |
Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer.
