What is the difference between exploring and being lost?
The journey is the destination.
~Dan Eldon, as written in his posthumously published journal~

~Richard Feynman~

~Thomas Jefferson~

True nature being lost, everything becomes its own nature; as the true good being lost, everything becomes its own true good
~ from “Pensees” by Blaise Pascal~

The problem with the prunes is that they are no longer lost. Being lost is loveable because it's absolute freedom. But the Prunes have been lost so long that lost has become home. And where do they go from here?
~Neil Taylor, about the band Virgin Prunes~


"Do all things with love."
