More From Saint Francis De Sales

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

For a mother the project of raising a boy is the most fulfilling project she can hope for. she can watch him, as a child, play the games she was not allowed to play; she can invest in him her ideas, aspirations, ambitions, and values - or whatever she has left of them; she can watch her son, who came from her flesh and whose life was sustained by her work and devotion, embody her in the world. so while the project of raising a boy is fraught with ambivalence and leads inevitably to bitterness, it is the only project that allows a woman to be - to be through her son, to live through her son.

I went away and cried to the master of the universe, "what have you done to me? a mind like this i need for a son? a heart i need for a son, a soul i need for a son, compassion i want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that i want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"

I want a girl because i want to bring her up so that she shan't make the mistakes i've made. when i look back upon the girl i was i hate myself. but i never had a chance. i'm going to bring up my daughter so that she's free and can stand on her own feet. i´m not going to bring a child into the world, and love her, and bring her up, just so that some man may want to sleep with her so much that he's willing to provide her with board and lodging for the rest of her life.

By 'coming to terms with life' i mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. it sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.
Mean Eye Reality
God isn't the son of memory; he's the son of immediate experience. you can't worship a spirit in spirit, unless you do it now. wallowing in the past may be good literature. as wisdom, it's hopeless. time regained is paradise lost, and time lost is paradise regained. let the dead bury their dead. if you want to live at every moment as it presents itself, you've got to die to every other moment.

No, what worries me is that i might in a sense adapt to this environment and come to be comfortable here and not resent it anymore. and i am afraid that as the years go by that i may forget, i may begin to lose my memories of the mountains and the woods and that's what really worries me, that i might lose those memories, and lose that sense of contact with wild nature in general. but i am not afraid they are going to break my spirit.

A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.

An animal is not cruel; it lives wholly in the instant leap on its prey, in the present taste of marrow or blood. cruelty begins with the memory, and the pleasures of the memory are impure; they draw their strength along levels where no sun has reached.
Memories Animal Blood
There is no safety in hiding. like my brothers before me, i pick up a fallen standard. sustained by the memory of our priceless years together, i shall try to carry forward that special commitment to justice, excellence and courage that distinguished their lives.
