A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having!

Dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels in the bank, and buy a revolver.

There is no new ideal imaginable by the madness of modern sophists, which will be anything like so startling as fulfilling any one of the old ones. On the day that any copybook maxim is carried out there will be something like an earthquake on the earth. There is only one thing new that can be done under the sun; and that is to look at the sun. If you attempt it on a blue day in June, you will know why men do not look straight at their ideals. There is only one really startling thing to be done with the ideal, and that is to do it. It is to face the flaming logical fact, and its frightful consequences.
What’s Wrong with the World, G. K. Chesterton (via therealfairytale)

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Intellect & Romance: MAY FIRST

May Day. Divine Mercy Sunday.

Remember today, kiddos. The most amazing thing happened to me. But I can’t tell you what just yet.

If nothing else, it was a pretty good break (just not nearly long enough!) before the final huge push through finals and on to graduation. :)

I posted this 11 months ago by the calendar, and 1 year ago by the liturgical calendar: Divine Mercy Sunday. (Last year, Divine Mercy Sunday was on May 1st.)

“It was a better life. And I don’t mean all the travelling and seeing aliens and spaceships and things, that don’t matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know, he showed you too. That you don’t just give up, you don’t just let things happen, you…make a stand, you say no! You have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away.”
