The pictures in which [Juan Donoso Cortes'] impressions of human history were objectified were full of dread and horror: Humanity reels blindly through a labyrinth that we call history, whose entrance, exit, and shape nobody knows; humanity is a boat aimlessly tossed about on the sea and manned by a mutinous, vulgar, forcibly recruited crew that howls and dances until God’s rage pushes the rebellious rabble into the sea so that quiet can prevail once more.

According to biographer David Buckley, the Los Angeles-based Bowie, fuelled by an "astronomic" cocaine habit and subsisting on a diet of peppers and milk, spent much of 1975–76 "in a state of psychic terror". [3] Stories—mostly from one interview, pieces of which found their way into Playboy and Rolling Stone —circulated of the singer living in a house full of ancient-Egyptian artifacts, burning black candles, seeing bodies fall past his window, having his semen stolen by witches, receiving secret messages from The Rolling Stones , and living in morbid fear of fellow Aleister Crowley aficionado Jimmy Page . [1] Bowie would later say of L.A., "The fucking place should be wiped off the face of the earth" .

Cornelio has won the debate.

"An enormous Proportion of Property vested in a few Individuals is dangerous to the Rights, and destructive of the Common Happiness of Mankind; and therefore any free State hath a Right by its Laws to discourage the Possession of such Property." - Narrowly defeated clause proposed for the 1776 Philadelphia Constitution by a private committee of artisans.

Metaphysic cannot be taught to everyone but, if it could be, there would be no atheism.

from everyones favourite angry granpa, finland.

" What to do, when a ship carrying a hundred passengers suddenly capsizes and only one lifeboat? When the lifeboat is full, those who hate life will try to load it with more people and sink the lot. Those who love and respect life will take the ship’s axe and sever the extra hands that cling to the sides of the boat."

"There is no dictator as stupid as the majority of people"

-Pentti linkola.
