we live in a world (Twitter) where, upon reading something we are surprised by, we, without faces to read, find ourselves stalking profiles. Then we can relieve ourselves: "oh, they're insane", "oh, they're stupid", "oh, they're a fascist".

even as, when the surge is driven over the darkness of the deep by the fierce breath of the Thracian sea-winds, it rolls up the black sand from the depths, and there is a sullen roost from wind-vexed headlands that from the blows of the storm.” CHORUS, Antigone

“Does God care to paint the sky of an evening, that a few of His children might see it, and get just a hope, just an aspiration, out of its passing green and gold, and purple and red? And should I think my day’s labor lost, if it work no visible salvation in the earth?”
ETA frat leader@CHRISF0GLE

Something they don’t tell you about becoming a good writer is that you will have to do a lot of work that will ultimately feel wasted (and maybe even BE wasted, depending on how you look at it). So you better be in it for the love of the game

what if I don’t find “the faithful” or “straight white men” to be noble savages, but I still think a certain form of generosity is necessary for safety? Leibniz said be meek only in avoiding injustice… and how easy it is to recommend timidity for the just portion’s safety!

like he's going allllll the way back to fight Plato and Homer on this, and that helps put his failure in a much better light, one that makes you, in loving truth, read generously against what you can only guess his intentions were. Ok everyone back to mandatory Proust reading

genuinely the worst metaphor ever made. And the reason it's so bad is proof of the idea being wrong, which is just so beautiful. But he does have a point; he's just wrong that creative activity would be something other than the only thing that could take back the worker's labor
Karl Marx@marxhaunting

that is, operates as an alien, divine or diabolical activity – so is the worker’s activity not his spontaneous activity. It belongs to another; it is the loss of his self.
