what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.</div> </blockquote> <div class="info"> <p><strong>Italo Calvino</strong> in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Cities-Italo-Calvino/dp/0156453800/?tag=ljbox-20"><em>Invisible Cities</em></a></p> </div> <div class="info"> <p><strong>Song:</strong> “Living Hell” by <strong>Morcheeba</strong></p> </div> <p class="buy"><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-antidote/id81361884">iTunes</a> :: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YN81K4/?tag=ljbox-20">Amazon</a> :: <a href="http://www.brainpickings.org">Back to <em>Brain Pickings</em></a></p> </blockquote>http://ghostesque.tumblr.com/post/51064850914http://ghostesque.tumblr.com/post/51064850914Wed, 22 May 2013 07:07:58 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/93c5b43484739e2b764b65f1f52f7d17/tumblr_mghgx3ie1w1rp7aoto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nobilior.tumblr.com/post/50016705570/pierre-berges-library-paris">nobilior</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Pierre Berge’s Library, Paris. </p> </blockquote>http://ghostesque.tumblr.com/post/51062632695http://ghostesque.tumblr.com/post/51062632695Wed, 22 May 2013 06:04:23 -0500“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
