Entourage quotes

"Thoughts of a dry brain in a dry season" is a line from T.S. Eliot's poem Gerontion, capturing feelings of spiritual emptiness, lost vitality, and fragmented memory in old age, reflecting post-World War I disillusionment where passion and meaning are replaced by weariness and a fading connection to life, symbolized by waiting for rain that never comes, notes



Punishment" by the Irish poet Seamus Heaney. 

"...who have stood dumb

when your betraying sisters, cauled in tar,

wept by the railings, who would connive

in civilized outrage

yet understand the exact

and tribal, intimate revenge." 


T.S. Eliot quote you're looking for, expressing the idea that one is always alone, comes from his play The Cocktail Party, specifically the lines: "Hell is oneself, hell is alone, the other figures in it Merely projections. There is nothing to escape from And nothing to escape to. One is always alone". 

The call of the open sea" is a widespread expression used to describe a strong desire for ocean travel, adventure, and the unknown. This idea is explored in works by authors like Joseph Conrad in The Mirror of the Sea, who writes about the "open sea before her bows", and Bernard Moitessier, who noted one does not ask "a tame seagull why it needs to disappear

We are no longer alone, waiting for the night, waiting for Godot, waiting for... waiting."

 "would understand the exact / And tribal, intimate revenge": This line from Seamus Heaney's poem "Punishment"

Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.

 extreme cynicism, much like extreme naiveté, ultimately deceives or misleads the individual themselves about the true nature of reality or human motivation. Both perspectives are seen as flawed because they represent a resignation from critical thinking and a balanced view of the world. 


The Aztecs had a large group of 400 gods associated with drunkenness known as the Centzon Tōtōchtin ("four hundred rabbits"). 

Grant Gilmore: "Law reflects, but in no sense determines the moral worth of a society. . . . The better the society, the less law there will be. In Heaven, there will be no law, and the lion will lie down with the lamb. The worse the society, the more law there will be. In Hell, there will be nothing but law, and due process will be meticulously observe

Eliot poem called “Little Gidding” written in the 1940s. In the poem's final section, Eliot makes a case for the generative potential of an ending: What we call the beginning is often the end And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself?

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night.
