Tremendous Trifles (Dover Literature: Essays)

I need to read "The Dragon's Grandmother" apparently, as it lead him to this thought: "Folk-lore means that the soul is insane, but the universe is wild and full of marvels. Realism means that the world is dull and full of routine, but the soul is sick and screaming. ...the fairytale is- what will a healthy man do with a fantastic world? ...the modern novel is- what will a madman do with a dull world?" Interesting...

Okay, one more for today cause it made me giggle. "The Bible must be referring to wallpapers, I think, when it says, "Use no vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do." haha! A witty author with a pen and a publisher is a lovely and humorous thing, y'all!

"...money has no roots, that it is not a natural and familiar power, but a sort of airy and evil magic calling monsters from the ends of the earth."

Today's chapter was beautiful, humorous, and thought-provoking. In the midst of satiating wanderlust... there lingers a sort of homesickness. In the good way that home is a place that should be longed for.

I think I'm gonna read a little at a time like I did with Screwtape Letters. This feels like a book that's gonna be best piecemeal rather than reading in all one go.

I know I just started this book, but this opening chapter was not at ALL what I was expecting. It closes with a solid explanation though. And some great snippets: "Such is the story...which contains all the highest qualities of a modern fairy tale, including that of being wholly unfit for children" LOL and "...how many extraordinary things even a lazy and ordinary man may see if he can spur himself to... seeing."

"E você?", gritou de forma terrível. "O que acha que a rua pensa sobre você? Será que a rua pensa que você está vivo? Dia após dia, ano após ano, você foi à estação de Aldgate..." Desde então passei a respeitar as coisas ditas inanimadas.

Posso compreender que uma deidade seja adorada com louvores, com flores e com fogos de artifício no velho estilo europeu. Posso compreender que uma deidade seja adorada com lamentações. Mas não consigo imaginar uma deidade sendo adorada com inconveniências.

Se existe algo pior que o moderno enfraquecimento de princípios morais fundamentais, é o moderno enaltecimento de princípios de menor importância.

O mundo nunca sofrerá com a falta de maravilhas, mas apenas com a falta da capacidade de se maravilhar.

Em outras palavras, podemos, ao fixar nossa atenção quase ferozmente nos fatos que realmente estão à nossa frente, forçá-los a tornarem-se aventuras, forçá-los a desistir de seu significado e cumprir seu misterioso propósito.

Nenhum de nós pensa o suficiente nestas coisas em que o olhar repousa. Mas não deixemos o olhar repousar. Por que o olhar tem de ser tão preguiçoso? Exercitemos o olhar até que ele aprenda a ver os fatos extraordinários que atravessam a paisagem tão claramente como uma cerca pintada. Sejamos atletas oculares. Aprendamos a escrever ensaios sobre um gato de rua ou uma nuvem colorida.
