yes, another prentetious sh*tface insult to 'chilidishness'

if you didn't mean it as negative, then......well, i don't like the cryptic/abstract humour here!

"it is said that the meaning of school is making kids to stop asking questions. to those people this fails, they become scientists" - ?

"every child is an artist. problem is being so as you grow up as well" - picasso

seas says:

art = passion = life

mysteria truth harmony reflection

feel free to behave like nieztchse's anti-wisdom / degenerate wisdom / male wisdom in regards to anything i say. hey, why not just ban me for being anti-BORING

"Courageous, untroubled, mocking and violent - that is what Wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior."

i suppose i should add in joy there as well.

success = life
in regards to emerson's:

"To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is the meaning of success." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"if you judge people, you have no time to love them" - mother teresa

life = love all
love is understanding
actually, that's friendship. love is too abused word. love is merely obsession. marriage is friendship + obsession.

"The purpose of life is a life of purpose." - Robert Byrne

"know thyself" - socrates

in that case, meaning of life could be wisdom? then imprinting this wisdom into eternity - art. quotes. inspiration for ever.

"live as if you'll die tomorrow. learn as if you'll live forever" - ?

In Beyond Good and Evil, Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (Jenseits von Gut und Böse. Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunft, 1886), Nietzsche identified imagination, self-assertion, danger, originality and the "creation of values" as qualities of genuine philosophers, as opposed to incidental characters who engage in dusty scholarship. - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche/

philospher is merely (a mind / word / thought?) artist. all artforms at the base are the same, so this

imagination
self-assertion
danger
originality
"creation of values"

applies to all artforms, though i don't know the other artforms equilant of "creation of values"

seas says:

"art has a purpose, reality does not" - ?

art is self reflection


"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." - Henry Van Dyke

kill your ego (which is the opposite of thinking about yourself)

USA media says:

"The entire essence of America is the hope to first make money - then make money with money - then make lots of money with lots of money." - Paul Erdman

"Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, and a king ain't satisfied until he rules everything." - Bruce Springsteen


*

DREAM

"Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live." - Mark Twain


"Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse." - John Derek - Knock on any Door

"It is not length of life, but depth of life." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"it is better to burn out than to fade away" - kurt kobain

sex & drugs & rock n' roll

i figure that's enough for now. plz start the flames / ban / lock / etc because your primtive 'godly' minds don't 100% get all what i say, in which case: you are degenerate man. mystery is beautiful, not evil.
