Compilation of the Heart - Who wants forever anyway?


There's no time for us,
There's no place for us,
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever.....?
There's no chance for us,
It's all decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who dares to love forever,
When love must die.

But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips,
And we can have forever,
And we can love forever,
Forever is our today,
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever,
Forever is our today,
Who waits forever anyway?

VANITAS

What a slut time is. She screws everybody. - John Green


I will not tell you our love story, because
- like all real love stories -
it will die with us, as it should.
John Green

trying to convince themselves,
that their existence is not absurd.

you run into someone who can't even remember having met you.

Kissing Frogs

First impressions are always unreliable. - Franz Kafka

 Alas!

(S)HE LOOKS LIKE THE REAL THING / (S)HE TASTES LIKE THE REAL THING / MY FAKE PLASTIC LOVE / BUT I CAN'T HELP THE FEELING / AND IT WEARS ME OUT, IT WEARS ME OUT / IT WEARS ME OUT, IT WEARS ME OUT.

Quantity: check. Quality: fail.

Danger - Men working above!



I think God, in creating man,
somewhat overestimated his ability.

Insight of the Day

You begin with the possibilities of the material. - Robert Rauschenberg


or how Twain puts it:
"Everything has its limit – iron ore cannot be educated into gold."
Mark Twain

If things break, get dented, can't keep pace or the form starts following another “function” -
They weren't made to.
Though Michelangelo could find “in every block of stone” a statue, sculpturing it till "the skin showed", he couldn't make it breathe or its heart beat.
