Quote:

Every bit of knowledge that becomes power has death as its central force. Death lends the ultimate touch, and whatever is touched by death indeed becomes power


-- Carlos Castaneda





That quote was great.

This has got to be one of my all time favorite quotes:

Quote:

Investigate the various repugnant aspects of the body, beginning with the fact that the body is a conglomeration of all sorts of things. In other words, it's a burial ground, a national cemetery, filled with the corpses of cattle, pigs, ducks, chickens, sour, sweet, greasy, salty, gathered and aged in the stomach, filtered and distilled into blood, pus, decomposing and putrid, oozing throughout the body and coming out its various openings: this body, which all of us in the human race care for without ceasing — bathing it, scrubbing it, masking its smell — and even then its filth keeps displaying itself as ear wax, eye secretions, nasal drip, tooth tartar, skin-scruff and sweat, always oozing out, filthy in every way. What it comes from is filthy, where it stays is filthy (i.e., in a cemetery of fresh corpses, or even worse — we've probably buried hundreds of different kinds of corpses within ourselves).

People say that what we're all seeking is a
meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're
really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an
experience of being alive
, so that our life
experiences on the purely physical plane will
have resonances within our own innermost
being and reality, so we can actually feel the
rapture of being alive

This came out of the woodstock book Back to the Garden





I've heard the bold part before somewhere...\

aahaa, its actually a Joseph Campbell quote

When I read that bold part it really affected me nearly ten years ago and changed the course of some of my thoughts.

but can the tragedy every be removed from comedy?


I sat in on a friends theatre class once and learned that the Greek root of 'tragedy' is 'goat song'. It goes back to the old rituals where people would sacrifice a goat to the gods. I was kind of amazed to learn the common word for it to the greeks had such a keen psychological understanding of what was going on.

Indeed, it is testimony to the insidious effects of happiness on some of the greatest minds in history that some philosophers have argued that the pursuit of happiness is the ultimate aim of all human endeavours.

Re: Your Favorite Philosophical Quotes [Re: Buckthorn]

Nietzsche sounds like the diamond sutra sometimes:

Quote:

“Main thought! The individual himself is a fallacy. Everything which happens in us is in itself something else which we do not know. ‘The individual’ is merely a sum of conscious feelings and judgments and misconceptions, a belief, a piece of the true life system or many pieces thought together and spun together, a ‘unity’, that doesn’t hold together. We are buds on a single tree—what do we know about what can become of us from the interests of the tree! But we have a consciousness as though we would and should be everything, a phantasy of ‘I’ and all ‘not I.’ Stop feeling oneself as this phantastic ego! Learn gradually to discard the supposed individual! Discover the fallacies of the ego! Recognize  egoism asfallacy! The opposite is not to be understood as altruism! This would be love of other supposed individuals! No! Get beyond ‘myself’ and ‘yourself’!  Experience cosmically!”

Quote:

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski
