It’s teaching the babies what to do if they see a snake since they don’t have their parents to show them.

“He loved her, that’s all. Is that not enough? True love is complete in and of itself. And what women really desire, deep down, is precisely that sort of honest, single-minded devotion.”

“You suffer because you think the only life you can have is in the place you were born. ‘Green hills are where you find them’ - isn’t that a line from a poem you scholars are always quoting? Come see my house in Han-yang. I’ll show you how wonderful it is to be alive.”

“Humans love what is human, and that alone. True art, too, is infused with the human touch. Rejuvenate myself beneath some sterile stand of trees, removed from the world of our most human emotions? No thanks.”

Cow and pig playing.

[thinkveganworld]

Because most people never see farm animals being their most natural selves, people tend to think of them as almost inert.  When any animal other than a dog is playful or affectionate, people say, “That cow (or pig, etc.) ‘thinks he’s a dog,’ or is ‘acting like a dog’”  The reality is, most farm animals naturally romp, play, nuzzle, think, have best friends and show affection.

“You men lived your lives with confidence, too, though not one of you had yet reached the age of thirty. You sang of how you would shatter like pearls and, unlike the old man with his ashes among the mountain flowers, this prospect was very real to you.”

the one addition that truly makes this clip even more powerful is knowing that Mr Sterling is this guy:

I am in awe trying to imagine the sheer levels of non sequiturs they would be able to produce together.

“The born commander requires neither an office nor a diploma; he is recognized by his gaze and his voice. And the man predestined to create is recognized by the dreamlike mood he emanates. That is the effect of artworks, their immeasurable, incomprehensible enchantment, and also their power to console.”

It’s a little known fact that in the 60s and 70s the CIA was actually run by fucking wile e coyote

[postilionstruckbylightning]

In 1961, the CIA tried to kill Castro by redirecting a road he used regularly into a solid stone wall onto which they’d painted a picture of a tunnel. This failed when Castro’s car proceeded straight on through the tunnel unhindered.
