The only god that exists is chance, for what a pathetic god would god be if he created me
-pillsbury dough boy on the topic of wheat and wheat byproducts
To transcend the physical, to move beyond the flesh, to understand profound and utter insignificance is to understand god.
Perhaps, that is why we killed him; to feel as though we would be whole again.
But there was never god, only infinite, uncaring space, and it’s only expanding.
-Ronald McDonald speaking on the floor of Congress, 15th of June 2023
How do you justify the laugh of a child?
The shadows cast by the crown of a forest?
The shallowest depths of the ocean?
The absence of sound immediately proceeding the end of a symphony?
The sanctity of the first drops of rain?
How do you pacify the whispers of super novas?
The rage of a butterfly’s wings? The endless chatter of atoms between the palms of lovers?
The memories of brilliant sunsets?
The hopes passing between the swaying of lone mangrove trees just beyond the shore line?
Perhaps we were born and exist simply as discordant notes in the melody of the cosmic background microwave radiation of the universe.
Perhaps it is up to us to create a song.
-excerpt from the final will and testament of Clifford the Big Red Dog
Nobody hates out of necessity.
We weren’t born with bitterness. We were born of the stars.
Stars aren’t bitter, and we are forged from their dead ashes floating in the cosmic vacuum.
That dust mixed with water, to form clay.
Millennia were given for the clay to shape itself;
colliding, reorganizing, evolving, breaking down, and forming living beings and more millennia still for that living being to become us.
We tell ourselves we’re forged by the hands of whatever gods we dreamt of and used their blessings to create weapons of destruction, and become harbingers of war.
But there were never any gods.
And the stars never judged.
-Lofi hiphop girl questioned for her crimes against humanity
Suffer with the knowledge that there is a world of information that you do not know.
Beg for mercy at the feet of your gods and their wisdom and weep with the realization that they know nothing for they were naught but stone and steel.
-First state of the union address of President Kanga Roo
If I can learn to love again, can God learn to forgive?
-The epitaph of Saint Ernie of the ducks
Never let the ops know you’re down bad
-Gengis Khan (guppie)
Those who refuse the call of History are scorned when they are rebuked by its agents
-Jesse Pinkman at the alter of the Divine Paths
Those who preach and criticize as if they have built a mighty temple but have failed to even erect a dung heap do not deserve any measure of respect.
-Sun Tzu’s commentary on Winston Churchill
Messages from the deep aren’t always in words
-Saint Wren, Minister of propaganda
Stand up boy
Shoulders straight
You carry the legacy of humanity within you
The billions that have lived and died rest their hopes upon your shoulders
Do not shrink away from the task ahead of you now
You were always meant for something greater
Because you are alive
-The prophet Joseph at the dawn of the Red epoch
There will come a time when freedom will force your hand
Be not afraid
Go instead and do what is necessary
-Notes on the lectures of the Philosophy of Carl Weezer
Centuries of moments, billions of lives, all intertwining in infinitely complex webs, most now lost to time.
All that was, all that is, all that will come to be, pulls at you now, carrying you through to the next moment, the next instance, the next decision.
You were always meant to be what you are now, and always becoming what you will be.
Do not mistake the now for all that is.
You are the responsibility of the past
You are to be responsible for the future
You are History
You are Destiny
-From the memoir of Lighting McQueen
This moment is a quiet satisfaction that will haunt me forever
