" I'm going to write a book someday and the title will be
I'M AN ASS, YOU'RE AN ASS. That's the most liberating, wonderful
thing in the world, when you openly admit you're an ass. It's
wonderful. When people tell me, "You're wrong". I say, "What can
you expect of an ass"?

Disarmed, everybody has to be disarmed. I n the final liberation, I 'm
an ass, you're an ass. Normally the way it goes, I press a button and
you're up; I press another button and you're down. And you like that.
How many people do you know who are unaffected by praise or
blame? That isn't human, we say. Human means that you have to be
a little monkey, so everybody can twist your tail, and you do

whatever you OUGHT to be doing. But is that human? If you find me
charming, it means that right now you're in a good mood, nothing
more. It also means that I fit your shopping list. We all carry a
shopping list around, and it's as though you've got to measure up to
this list - tall, um, dark, um, handsome, according to MY tastes. "I
like the sound of his voice". You say, "I'm in love". You're not in love,
you silly ass. Any time you're in love - I hesitate to say this - you're
being particularly asinine. Sit down and watch what's happening to
you.

You're running away from yourself. You want to escape. Somebody
once said, "Thank God for reality, AND for the means to escape from
it". So that's what's going on. We are so mechanical, so controlled.
We write books about being controlled and how wonderful it is to be
controlled and how necessary it is that people tell you you're O.K.
Then you'll have a good feeling about yourself. How wonderful it is to
be in prison!"
Anthony de Mello

I come back to Pratchett every couple of years, his work is simply amazing.
Having said that, Rincewind has to be my least favorite protagonist of all Discworld protagonists. I only liked him in "The Last Continent".

Lesbian With A Gun

a 1965 edition of Ninteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.



I took a snapshot of it because, for some reason, you could also buy a poster of this exact cover for £12 today, to which I did/and have.

Winston had just finished reading how 'War Is Peace' works out in this secret/underground book he got given penned by public enemy number 1.
Julia was listening as she went to sleep.

After stumbling my way semi-aimlessly through fundamentals of philosophy I've determined that focusing my curiosity would serve me far better in the long run. I've settled on music aesthetics as a fair point of ingress and found my way to Roger Scruton's The Aesthetics of Music, a comprehensive account of the nature and significance of music from the perspective of modern philosophy.

Scruton is named as a leading authority on aesthetics, and his bibliography includes titles on other aspects of philosophy, politics, literature, architecture, and modern culture. He was named by a gent who is creating a YouTube channel on the subject of classical music appreciation.

I'm particularly interested in Scruton’s remarks about the devices of musical tension and sympathetic response as an opportunity for emotional development and I’m interested in exploring that space.
