Aphorism # 76
Without culture life is solipsistic, everything could be a creation serving ones own imagination.
When you hear Beethoven, the Beatles, look at Van Gogh, Dali, read Shakespeare, Proust you are experiencing
an expression of other that would be impossible to create as a shore up for a world of one.

Democracy: produced by professionals, directed by amateurs, staring a cast of unknowns. On general release now; there is no interval in this program.

No bell tolls for me, that is my prize. I still get to epiphany and where else would anyone want to be?

Aphorism # 68
Effect without cause, deed without doer light without source, shadow without light, sound without vibration, heat without fire, word without breath, idea without thought, book without author, essence without existence, such are our gods.

The past is above, the future below, we dangle in the present on thin string tied round fat air.

Aphorism # 50
What you just did was cool. You’re about to do it again in a wholly different place at a completely different time. Everything has changed, the moment has moved on, planets have orbited suns, the universe has expanded. What you did over there, back then, is anything but cool if you do it here, right now. You need to know when to stop.

Aphorism # 51
Imagine an atheist who, on dying, arrives in heaven or hell and is greeted by a wistful god or sardonic devil with a, told you so look in their eye. Compare this to the reaction of a Christian, or one of some other faith that insists there is life after death, on dying being welcomed by the cool indifference of eternal oblivion.

Aphorism # 52
Whatever we do: good, bad, right, wrong, interesting, boring, elegant, clumsy, beautiful, ugly, exceptional, mediocre, in, out. However we act: passionately, indifferently, for the crowd, for the soul. Neither a smile or a frown, will get the kind of attention we desire.

Politics is theatre minus charisma or any plausible plot.

Aphorism # 61
I’m not in it for the money, I’m in it, as Ben Kingsley so eloquently puts it in Sexy Beast, for the shear fuck off ness of it all. The money helps of course but it’s the waving of two fingers in the face of a universe that has no interest in little old me by doing something it hasn’t thought of yet.

Politics is the expression of human dysfunction. Religion is the expression of human delusion.

Aphorism # 48
Thinking won't make it so, it will only seem so to the thinker, but if thinking it leads to saying it then think it. Saying it won't make it so, it may seem so to those who aren’t really looking but if saying it leads to doing it then say it. Doing it will make it so, so just do it.

Aphorism # 57
Huge headless beasts blundering blindly about, stomping on little things like countries, households and dreams. Twitching and thrashing to a random firing of nerves without any endings, corporate organisations.
