More From H. P. Lovecraft

The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.
Self Relation Relate
There is nothing to be known about anything except an initially large, and forever expandable, web of relations to other things. everything that can serve as a term of relation can be dissolved into another set of relations, and so on for ever. there are, so to speak, relations all the way down, all the way up, and all the way out in every direction: you never reach something which is not just one more nexus of relations.
Forever Way Speak
A man is born into this world with only a tiny spark of goodness in him. the spark is god, it is the soul; the rest is ugliness and evil, a shell. the spark must be guarded like a treasure, it must be nurtured, it must be fanned into flame. it must learn to seek out other sparks, it must dominate the shell. anything can be a shell, reuven. anything. indifference, laziness, brutality, and genius. yes, even a great mind can be a shell and choke the spark.

Fancy, an animal faculty, is very different from imagination, which is intellectual. the former is passive; but the latter is active and creative. children, the weak minded, and the timid are full of fancy. men and women of intellect, of great intellect, are alone possessed of great imagination.

It's fear of the unknown. the unknown is what it is. and to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. unknown is what it is. accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. that's what it is. right?
Inspirational Funny Dream
As medium for reaching understanding, speech acts serve: a) to establish and renew interpersonal relations, whereby the speaker takes up a relation to something in the world of legitimate social orders; b) to represent states and events, whereby the speaker takes up a relation to something in the world of existing states of affairs; c) to manifest experiences that is, to represent oneself- whereby the speaker takes up a relation to something in the subjective world to which he has privileged access.

In the order of nature, we cannot render benefits to those from whom we receive them, or only seldom. but the benefit we receive must be rendered again, line for line, deed for deed, cent for cent, to somebody. beware of too much good staying in your hand. it will fast corrupt and worm worms. pay it away quickly in some sort.
Hands Order Benefits
