"Contains a lot of information about MIB cases from outside the United States, in particular the UK and Australia which is not a surprise considering that Jenny Randles is British. A lot of the cases seem to be civilian pranksters and conmen impersonating Air Force personnel, to the point the RAF and USAF both conducted investigations into civilians impersonating officers from both British and American militaries..." 19 hours, 2 min ago

"significantly more conventional and easier to follow than "The Waves" but nowhere as spacy as either, still beautifully written and gives a good sense of how everything looked and felt in interwar-era Britain" 19 hours, 5 min ago

"Mest interessante digt her indtil videre er "Det samme hvide lys" på s. 129, der indbygger en masse naturvidenskabelig jargon og psykedeliske mentale billeder i den kosmiske mysticisme og udforskning af indre følelsesliv, der kører som rød tråd igennem de fleste af digtene. Her kan man virkelig mærke flere ubeslægtede universer kollidere med hinanden og skabe noget unikt" Mar 07, 2026 02:47AM

Jorge Luis Borges
“So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.”
Jorge Luis Borges

James Crumley
“Stories are like snapshots, pictures snatched out of time, with clean hard edges. But this was life, and life always begins and ends in a bloody muddle, womb to tomb, just one big mess, a can of worms left to rot in the sun.”
James Crumley, The Last Good Kiss

Alejandro Jodorowsky
“Awakening is not a thing. It is not a goal, not a concept. It is not something to be attained. It is a metamorphosis. If the caterpillar thinks about the butterfly it is to become, saying ‘And then I shall have wings and antennae,’ there will never be a butterfly. The caterpillar must accept its own disappearance in its transformation. When the marvelous butterfly takes wing, nothing of the caterpillar remains.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky

Clarice Lispector
“I will surpass myself in waves, ah, Lord, and may everything come and fall upon me, even the incomprehension of myself at certain white moments because all I have to do is comply with myself and then nothing will block my path until death-without-fear, from any struggle or rest I will rise up as strong and beautiful as a young horse.”
Clarice Lispector, Near to the Wild Heart

Martin Heidegger
“The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.”
Martin Heidegger
