""das Ergebnis war eine Stadt, die grösser, schwerer, schneller und heller war, als die Natur erlaubte. London war unersättlich, labte sich an dem Ertrag des Raubguts und verhungerte trotzdem. London war sowohl unvorstellbar reich als auch bettelarm. London - wunderschön, hässlich, weitläufig, beengt, rülpsend, schniefend, rechtschaffen, scheinheilig, versilbert - stand der Abrechnung kurz bevor"" — Aug 28, 2026 02:47AM

“Now, for some reason or other best known to themselves, the translators of the Bible have carefully crowded out of existence and covered up every reference to the fact that the Deity is both masculine and feminine.”

»Und warum denn nicht?«
»Weil sie nicht müde werden.«
»Und warum denn nicht?«
»Weil sie Narren sind.«
»Werden denn Narren nicht müde?«
»Wie könnten Narren müde werden!«”

“Dionysus does not
explain or regret
anything. He is
pleased
if he can cause you to perform,
despite your plan,
despite your politics,
despite your neuroses,
despite even your Dionysian theories of self,
something quite previous,
the desire
before the desire,
the lick of beginning to know you don’t know.
If life is a stage,
that is the show.
Exit Dionysus.”
― The Bacchae

“and you've cried once more because recognition feels like forgiveness, which is a burning furnace that can't stand on its own. Love is a feast but you've learned to abstain. There is a sickness that follows the shame of giving with love only to be met with slaughter.”

“Zeus the Guide, who made man turn
Thought-ward, Zeus, who did ordain
Man by Suffering shall Learn.
So the heart of him, again
Aching with remembered pain,
Bleeds and sleepeth not, until
Wisdom comes against his will.
'Tis the gift of One by strife
Lifted to the throne of life.”
― The Tragedies of Aeschylos
