“
Eat of the Forbidden Fruit
and ye shall be as Gods!
Eat and ye shall be Wise!
Said the Serpent to the Maid…
Said the Maid to the Man,
Said the Man to His Son,
Said the Son to His Wife…
And so said They,
from generation to generation,
til all Their Kindred knew the Secret.
And so, Beloved, must I say unto you:
Eat and ye shall be Wise!
“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode.”

“Renunciation is not giving up the things of the world, but accepting that they go away.”

“All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.”
—Nietzsche (via funeral)
