the moment you build something beautiful you're automatically at war with ten thousand bureaucrats whose entire existence depends on explaining why it can't be done.

fail spectacularly. succeed quietly. lose everything. find yourself. be broken. become unbreakable. suffer alone. learn compassion. hate your weakness. forge your strength. get rejected. become selective. lose friends. find brothers. be poor. value everything. be rich. trust.

he will remember this call forever. his tears will water ground that has been barren for generations.

Call your father. tell him you love him while his ears can still hear love.

if good men refuse to accumulate money then money accumulates in the hands of demons, and while you contemplate the spiritual corruption of wealth, they're buying your children's destiny. so tell me again how noble it is to stay poor while they grow rich enough to rewrite reality.

Watch a child spin until they fall down dizzy, that's the last time they'll ever seek vertigo on purpose, the last dance with chaos before we teach them to stand still.

RT @BillAckman: This is beautiful.

dear algo, let this reach every father and son under heaven unto the ends of the earth.

The father plants trees he will never climb and the son climbs trees he did not plant, and somewhere in this sacred exchange lies the mystery of time itself - how a man becomes eternal not by living forever but by teaching another man to die well, and when the son finally.

believe is the only verb that gets weaker the more you use it - say "i believe" enough times and watch how it crumbles in your mouth like old bread.

Crowds dream, legends devour thunder.

Any man who truly loves a woman becomes temporarily insane, he sees infinity in her laugh and mortality in her tears and suddenly understands why ancient kings burned cities for Helen's face.

if you're over 25 and still blaming your parents for your problems you're just weak.

A man's dignity isn't what he refuses to do but what he chooses to do when no one is watching and God is holding His breath - it's the weight he carries without complaint, the word he doesn't speak when silence costs him everything, the way he kneels to pray not because he is.

the mantis shrimp sees sixteen types of color we don't have names for and i think about this every time i try to explain why i'm sad - there are sixteen types of loneliness human language was never built to hold and i'm drowning in the ultraviolet of feelings that don't exist yet.

A man who cannot protect what he loves is not a man but a museum of good intentions, and a woman who will not let herself be protected is not liberated but orphaned from her own power. and when man and woman stop playing these games where one pretends to be the other - when he.

Dostoyevsky gave us three brothers because he knew one man cannot contain all the ways to break before God - Ivan with his magnificent rebellion, his "I return the ticket" to a universe where children suffer, Dmitri drowning in his own blood and wanting, and Alyosha, sweet.

the fool speaks truth because he has nothing left to lose, and the wise man lies because he has everything to protect. this why Christ chose fishermen over pharisees.

The closer you get to God the more you realize you are nothing, and the more you realize you are nothing the more you become everything, and this is the actual mechanical function of how holiness works: complete self-annihilation produces infinite expansion, ego death births.

if you're not willing to be hated by people who have never read a book for defending ideas they'll never understand then you're not serious about truth. and dont wonder why the salt has lost its savor.
