“You can’t go back. It’s not a question of destroying anything. If something’s used up, something’s done, something’s over with, what’s the point of getting involved with it?”
–Frank Stella
In the greater scheme, in the big picture, nothing we do matters. There’s no grand plan, no big win. I guess I kind of worked it out, if there’s no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. Cause that’s all there is. What we do, now, today. All I want to do is help. I want to help because I don’t think people should suffer as they do. If there’s no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world.
–Angel

“Here I am at Mr. D’s, eating grapefruit.”
Today’s recommended attitude: Han is a Korean form of angst that manifests itself as both a resigned acceptance that life is difficult and a grim determination to struggle through this difficulty.
The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life. And the most important thing is — it must be something you cannot possibly do.
— Henry Moore
