Degrees Needs Stuff

More From Terry Eagleton

I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.

Scientists do not believe in fundamental and absolute certainties. for the scientist, certainty is never an end, but a search; not the ordering of certainty, but its exploration. for the scientist, certainty represents the highest degree of probability.

I have a lot of faith. but i am also afraid a lot, and have no real certainty about anything. i remembered something father tom had told me--that the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. certainty is missing the point entirely. faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
Because of its concrete content, sense-certainty immediately appears as the richest kind of knowledge, indeed a knowledge of infinite wealth for which no bounds can be found, either when we reach out into space and time in which it is dispersed, or when we take a bit of this wealth, and by division enter into it. moreover, sense-certainty appears to be the truest knowledge ... but, in the event, this very certainty proves itself to be the most abstract and poorest truth. all that it says about what it knows is just that it is; and its truth contains nothing but the sheer being of the thing.

I would never go to a studio. i need my space, you know what i mean? i need to be able to chain smoke and pace about, cry and like... spit. just make noise, make a huge mess. i also feel like if i was concerned for the cost of the studio - like, 'this is costing 40 dollars an hour' - i wouldn't be able to work.
