Overwork actually has major cachet in a society whose holy trinity is efficiency, productivity, and material acquisition. Complaining about it is the modern equivalent of public prayer.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

The artist’s own preference for the fantasy muse over the real-life woman is not entirely about clinging to the ideal in order to evade the messy realities of sex, jealousy, domestic tedium, and so forth. For artists, like the rest of us, sooner or later notice that the power of longing is more durable than the thrill of possession.

“Not so great being ‘a beauty’ I would imagine, you have it then you lose it and you still have many years to live.” Tanaquil Le Clercq
Quote
The human body is only just coming to real life. With the Greeks it gave a lovely flicker, then Plato and Aristotle killed it and Jesus finished it off. But now the body is coming really to life, it is really rising from the tomb. And it will be a lovely, lovely life in the lovely universe, the life of the human body.
Text
“Give me the body. I believe the life of the body is a greater reality than the life of the mind: when the body is really wakened to life. But so many people…have only got minds tacked on to their physical corpses.” D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, 1928
Quote
My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle. What do I care about knowledge. All I want is to answer to my blood without fribbling intervention ofmind, or moral, or what not….We have got so ridiculously mindful, that we never know that we ourselves are anything.

Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him.

The Mind is so near itself—-it cannot see, distinctly.
