"This book has been slow going, but it is rich and fascinating. It is nice to linger on the pages. Evans-Pritchard has up to this point described the Nuer's esteem and reliance on cattle, how their cattle rearing occurred in an arid environment shaped by the monsoon cycle; and he has theorized how their material circumstances shape their ideas of time and space."

"So I've decided that I want to obtain a BA in English without going to school again. I've created a list of 120 books that are more or less representative of the history of English literature. First book? The King James Version of the Bible (no Apocrypha ;_;). I just got through Genesis (pretty stories!), Exodus (pretty story then rules), and Leviticus (just rules). Wish me luck!"

“Around a hero everything becomes a tragedy, around a demi-god everything becomes a satyr play; and around God everything becomes-what do you think? perhaps the 'world'?-”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

Ursula K. Le Guin
“Well, we come here to the Fastnesses mostly to learn what questions not to ask."

"But you're the Answerers!"

"You don't see yet, Genry, why we perfected and practice Foretelling?"

"No––"

"To exhibit the perfect uselessness of knowing the answer to the wrong question.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

Black Elk
“You have noticed that the truth comes into this world with two faces. One is sad with suffering, and the other laughs; but it is the same face, laughing or weeping. When people are already in despair, maybe the laughing face is better for them; and when they feel too good and are too sure of being safe, maybe the weeping face is better for them to see.”
Black Elk, Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux
