Be The Revolution and Remember To Play
You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

I am entirely on the side of mystery.
I mean, any attempt to explain
away the mystery is ridiculous.
I believe in the profound and
unfathomable mystery of life
which has a sort of divine
quality about it.
~Aldous Huxley

But if the light was gone in the Luxembourg I would walk up through the gardens and stop in at the studio apartment where Gertrude Stein lived at 27 rue de Fleurus.
My wife and I had called on Miss Stein and she and the friend who lived with her had been very cordial and friendly and we had loved the big studio with the great painting. It was like one of the best rooms in the finest museum except there was a big fireplace and it was warm and comfortable and they gave you good things to eat and natural distilled liqueurs made from purple plums, yellow plums or wild raspberries.
-A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway
