"Przyszli po ojca tuż po północy. Trzej ludzie w garniturach, pod krawatem i w czarnych kapeluszach. Mieli odznaki FBI. (...) To było w grudniu, tuż po Pearl Harbor (...) Wieczorem roznieciła ognisko (...) i spaliła wszystkie listy z Kagoshimy, (...) rodzinne fotografie i trzy jedwabne kimona, które przywiozła z Japonii przed dziewiętnastu laty. (...) Podarła flagę z czerwonym wschodzącym słońcem." Oct 31, 2025 06:12PM

Platón
“Więc każdy z nas jest jak kupon od biletu całego, bo każdy powstał, niby ryba płaszczka, wraz z kimś drugim z jakiejś dawnej, jednej istoty. Toteż zawsze każdy z nas swego kuponu szuka.”
Platon

“The womb is where babies are created, and grown, and from where they are birthed. It is the home of our creativity, the wellspring of our vital feminine energies. The womb is the matrix from which our life force rises and to which it returns. It is the hub of our energetic and physical bodies. The womb is also where we experience death. Our moon blood, our menstruation, is a sign that an ovum (...) has died without being fertilized by the sperm (...); it passes out of our bodies with the now unneeded uterine lining that the womb created for the possibility of growing a baby. Without fertilization, this living-nourishing matrix dies and leaves our bodies in our monthly flow (which by the way is one of the most concentrated forms of śakti in our bodies).”
Aditi Devi, In Praise of Adya Kali: Approaching the Primordial Dark Goddess Through the Song of Her Hundred Names

J.D. Salinger
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Platón
“Bo obawiać się śmierci, obywatele, to nic innego nie jest, jak tylko mieć się za mądrego, choć się nim nie jest. Bo to znaczy myśleć, że się wie to, czego człowiek nie wie. Bo przecież o śmierci żaden człowiek nie wie, czy czasem nie jest dla nas największym ze wszystkich dobrem, a tak się jej ludzie boją, jakby dobrze wiedzieli, że jest największym złem. A czyż to nie jest głupota, i to ta najpaskudniejsza myśleć, że się wie to, czego człowiek nie wie?

~ Platon, Obrona Sokratesa (w przekładzie Władysława Witwickiego)”
Platon, Obrona Sokratesa

Jack Whiteside Parsons
“Freedom like charity, begins at home. No man is worthy to fight in the cause of freedom unless he has conquered his internal masters. He must learn control and discipline over the disastrous passions that would lead him to folly and ruin. He must conquer inordinate vanity and anger, self-deception, fear, and inhibition.”
Jack Whiteside Parsons, Rebels & Devils; A Tribute to Christopher S. Hyatt
