“Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that...”
– - Carl Sagan (via thatkindofwoman)
Agree, although I do not quite consider myself atheist
“If I ruled the world, or at least a publishing company, all books would contain...”
– Victoria Johnson, “The Maps We Wandered Into As Kids” (cf. my post, “Maps of Fictional Worlds”)
Why T.S. Eliot kept his day job →
austinkleon:
“Even after he published, Prufrock and The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot continued to work his day job at a bank.” Great article about why Eliot chose to keep working, even after all his friends basically Kickstartered him and tried to get him to quit. “…nobody wants to think about the poet at the water cooler, or, even worse, pouring over actuarial tables.”
I can relate to this.
