Flows Quotes

“It is not by means of a metaphor that a banking or stock-market transaction, a claim, a coupon, a credit, is able to arouse people who are not necessarily bankers. And what about the effects of money that grows, money that produces more money? There are socioeconomic "complexes" that are also veritable complexes of the unconscious, and that communicate a voluptuous wave from the top to the bottom of their hierarchy (the military-industrial complex). And ideology, Oedipus, and the phallus have nothing to do with this, because they depend on it rather than being its impetus. For it is a matter of flows, of stocks, of breaks in and fluctuations of flows; desire is present wherever something flows and runs, carrying along with it interested subjects—but also drunken or slumbering subjects—toward lethal destinations.”
― Gilles Deleuze

“In the harmonious synthesis of the opposite ends of the river, flows the stream of happiness.”

“Let me leave you with this thought, written by my father before he died. If you incorporate it into your system of values, it will serve as a worthy guide to the management of your sexual energy: Strong desire is like a river. As long as it flows within the banks of God’s will—be the current strong or weak—all is well. But when it overruns those boundaries and seeks its own channels, then disaster lurks in the rampage below.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“I love everything that flows,’ said the great blind Milton of our times. I was thinking of him this morning when I awoke with a great bloody shout of joy: I was thinking of his rivers and trees and all that world of night which he is exploring. Yes, I said to myself, I too love everything that flows: rivers, sewers, lava, semen, blood, bile, words, sentences. I love the amniotic fluid when it spills out of the bag. I love the kidney with it’s painful gall-stones, it’s gravel and what-not; I love the urine that pours out scalding and the clap that runs endlessly; I love the words of hysterics and the sentences that flow on like dysentery and mirror all the sick images of the soul...”
― Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

“Ebbs and flows are a part of life, and they remind you who you are, where you have come from and where you can go.”
― Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma, 10 GOLDEN Steps of Life

“When your voice is soft like snow,
all the words you pick to show,
that even your nothing can be a good rhyme.

Like snow, since of water, the snowflakes are made,
the water flows soft, yet it cuts right through jade…

Words make a path, in Eternal mind-planes,
while thoughts turn to actions, eternal, from brains…

Our actions are done sometimes meaning without,
And someone once wrote, they give dreams here… about.

Somewhere in the boundless grey mists dreams sprout…”

“For Reich, the true life force was orgone. It is a tangible, biological energy that flows freely through the body and nature.”
― Laurence Galian, Crossing the Forbidden Highway: The Untold Story of Orgone, Body Therapy, and Suppressed Emotion
