Just exposed to this quote by the physicist Paul Dirac and love it: "the aim of poetry is to state simple things in an incomprehensible way." I love obfuscation, hence my obsession with incomprehensible Old Testament stories. I think it gets you closer to truth.

--What will happen if I run into the road? --You'll get squished like a pancake and die. --Then what? --You'll meet your grandfather and say "Hello, I'm Samuel Glendon McCullough." --No I won't. --Why not? --Because I'll be in the ground in a cemetery. --Not your soul. --What about my privates and my bottom? --Eh... in the ground, yeah.

If I walk east and you walk west earth won't its path stop tracing. The world is not a treadmill which is spun by nervous pacing. The sun has yet to miss its rise when from it men were racing or failed to fall at dusk due to our stillness in embracing. We do not move for heavens' sake nor heavens for the man. The heavens move because they must and us because we can.

"You're exactly like a tourist who thinks he can take in the whole of Rome in one day. You know, you really are a tourist, to your bones. I bet you're always sending post cards with "Down here on a visit" on them. That's the story of your life..."

"Death induces the sensual person to say: Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we shall die – but this is sensuality’s cowardly lust for life, that contemptible order of things where one lives in order to eat and drink instead of eating and drinking in order to live."
