January 13

Even paradox feels glib when it makes an exhibition of itself.

*

Should Paradise exist, our instincts would have to be filtered out of us by death, or else we’d ruin the place.

*

Distinct from other ages, when exile still meant a place of brightness somewhere, there’ll be no green shade to retire to when the world turns to shit.

*

Imbeciles who call global warming science a ‘belief’ are on to something yet. Environmentalism shares with God-hankering an inexpressible nostalgia.

*

Our gaze is the tribute that beauty demands of us. The bloody tyrant.

*

The truth may set you free but it’s cold outside.
