Moon Miles Impress

More From Alexandra Paul

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

I'm not impressed by people's degrees. harvard doesn't impress me, yale doesn't impress me, columbia doesn't impress me.

A bank is a relationship. i can't desert you and expect to have a strong relationship afterward. if i told someone, "i know you've been buying milk from me and you need milk to survive. but the price is no longer $2 a gallon. it's going to be $40 a gallon. i'm going to bankrupt you." what do you guys think of me? you would hate us.
Strong Hate Thinking
We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. if we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. if we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. but apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.

The moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space i shall never fully know. but the moon that pulls the tides, and the moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. . . . when we describe the moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. when we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.
Moon Night Sky
What was supposed to be so special about a full moon? it was only a big circle of light. and the dark of the moon was only darkness. but halfway between the two, when the moon was between the worlds of light and dark, when even the moon lived on the edge...maybe then a witch could believe in the moon.

I don't have the big idea. i don't have the arrogance to even want to have the big idea. but i believe the physics of resisting power is as old as the physics of accumulating power. that's what keeps the balance in the universe... the refusal to obey.
Believe Ideas Arrogance
Sometimes i really want to believe in god. i really admire, in a lot of ways, people who have faith. i think it must be a beautiful thing to believe.
Beautiful Believe Thinking
More than that, i believe that the grass is green because green is restful to the human eye, that the sky is blue to give us an idea of the infinite. and that blood is red so that murder will be more easily detected and criminals will be brought to justice. yes, and i believe that i shall live forever, but i shall live without reason.

To succeed [,] consider what is as though it were past, deem yourself inevitable and take credit for it. if you no longer believe, enlarge the temple.
