Because we each are a body and a mind the great challenge is to serve both and ignore neither. Easier said than done.

Something many of us find bizarre in politics today is how political opponents will scour over decades of each other's public life in the hopes of finding one off-colour joke they told when normal people have heard, can cope with, and may have told off-colour jokes themselves.

Turns out writing and weightlifting have this in common: each time you try you're supposed to fail.

Doing this with Absalom, Absalom! If I ever get the research out there. Would love to think of Tolstoy along these lines too.

@bernardtjoy I love to read Absalom Absalom and War And Peace side by side to see how these two great minds seems to understand the past as a part of a identity differently. I think Tolstoi thought that Past is never dead but it is indeed past.

Love stories begin when we least expect. So I think I'll start expecting less.

You can agree with someone without agreeing with a word they say. I think it's for the same reason that a creative writer can be poetically correct without being correct in fact.

I think one thing much phenomenological research shows us is that we are sustained and made happy by the pursuit of our projects and not by the attainment of an illusory goal. And so if you give up because you are not enjoying enough success, it is the source of contentment that

Characters in 19th-century Russian literature be like: "I am an old man, with thinning hair and a body rife with pain, awaiting only the near release of my coffin!" And then you do the maths and the dude is 42.
