We speak so much of light,

please let me speak on behalf 

of the good dark. Let us

talk more of how dark

the beginning of a day is.

365 4/29

And don't it make you feel so sad

Don't the blood rush to your feet

To think that everything you do today

Tomorrow is obsolete

365 4/28

Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds all the centuries since the bible was written.  And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes.  I personally resent it bitterly.

365 4/27

It's ridiculous to talk about freedom in a society dominated by huge corporations.

What kind of freedom is there inside a corporation?

They're totalitarian institutions - 

you take orders from above and maybe give them to people below you.

There's about as much freedom as under Stalinism.

365 4/26

Well, we won't have any of that going on here. 

365 4/25

What's your name?

What's your nation?

Sense of order

Sense of speed

365 4/24

Come on, come on

Holy Roman Empire

Come on if you think 

You can take us on

You and your cronies

365 4/23

& Songs About Memory

& Songs About Drink

365 4/22

I'm just a bad writer who drinks too much and falls in love with girls

365 4/21

So give me one kiss to build a dream on

Gonna stay with me through the changing seasons

and yeah, yeah

And it's all we've got to bring

365 4/20

The stars are your eyes 

I loved them right from the start

A world so beautiful 

And I keep it in my heart

365 4/19

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

365 4/18

We're all stories, in the end.

365 4/17

Hold me and make it the truth

That when all is lost there will be you

365 4/16

For time is like a fashionable host

That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand

And with his arms outstretch'd, as he would fly,

Grasps in the comer: welcome ever smiles,

And farewell goes out sighing.

365 4/15

Yet over this glorious and wacky place 

at Europe's heart a sorrow hangs like smoke.

A sixty-year-old evil leaves its trace

even on such dreams as innocents evoke.

365 4/14

We grow older, but we do not change. 

We grow more sophisticated, but at bottom we continue to resemble our younger selves,

eager to listen to the next story, and the next, and the next

365 4/13

The Greeks believed your character determines your fate.
You can veer here and there, but ultimately something inside you,
the way you are,
Has already determined the kinds of choices you will make.

365 4/12

The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood

This Eastertide call into mind the men,

Now far from home, who, with their sweethearts, should

Have gathered them and will never do again

365 4/11

If I ever get out of here

Thought of giving it all away to a registered charity 

All I need is a pint a day If I ever get out of here

365 4/10

How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense.

365 4/9

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.

I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends, and

I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that.

That's what's insane about it.

365 4/8

Now I am strong and lapped in sorrow

As in a coat of magic mail and borrow

For Time today and care not for tomorrow

365 4/7

Have you seen her?
So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree

365 4/6

It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.

365 4/5

Well, you can look, you'll walk in circles around me

But first, I'll walk in circles 'round you

But first I walk around the world

365 4/4

Last night I dreamed about you.

What happened in detail I can hardly remember, 

all I know is that we kept merging into one another.

I was you, you were me.

365 4/3

Deep into the night

I love the work it can do

Oh a change of mind 

Oh change of mind, sound of breaking glass

365 4/2

Du bist dem Tod so nah

Und doch dein Blick so klar

Erkenne mich

365 4/1

We're nothing and nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

But we could be safer, just for one day
