Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune’s all we are.””

– Grant Morrison, The Invisibles (via biscodeja-vu)

You have been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
Surrender.”

When I have a thought about you, that’s something I’ve created. I’ve turned you into an idea. In a certain sense, if I have an idea about you that I believe, I’ve degraded you. I’ve made you into something very small. This is the way of human beings, this is what we do to each other.”

Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”

I am the unknowingness
of an unknown mystery.
If you want to know something,
go elsewhere.
If you want to un-know everything,
then sit and listen.

The silence inside of you
is the sound of your knowledge collapsing.
Remember, it is you who said,
“I want to be free.”
