September 15

No matter how often we smile at our reflections, we will never win over the mirror.

*

We look to power to remedy error; but error is power’s currency of action. All it can do is manufacture new errors under which to conceal the old.

*

Reality is merely the impossibility in which the world has chosen to invest.

*

From rice to rye, wheat to corn, and all meats reared on the same, we are in essence herbivores. Let us pursue our holocausts of grass: patiently, implacably, it will grow over us.

*

Innocence cannot mean immunity. The sins of the father will cease to be inherited when the same is true of the sorrows.

*

An aphorism is a remark that has won itself some elbow room.
