Quotes 7/29, Schopenhauer, Lotte Lenya

"What I respect is truth, therefore I can't respect what opposes truth. Just as the jurist's motto is: fiat justitia et pereat mundus, [Let justice be done though the world perish] so my motto is: vigeat veritas et pereat mundus, [Let truth prosper though the world perish] Every profession ought to have an analogous device"- Schopenhauer



"And at noon there will fall a hush upon the harbor
And they'll ask: Who's to die?
And then you'll hear me order firmly: All!
when the heads fall I'll cry: Hoppla!

And the ship with eight sails
And with fifty cannons
Will sail off with me"- Lotte Lenya

Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up"- Charlie Feathers

7/26- Orson Welles, Neil Young

"You understand what I mean by 'they'. You know who they are. They are not essentially Republicans, but they have seized the Republican party as a vehicle for their ambitions. They are the partisans of privelege- the champions of monopoly- the opponents of liberty, the adversaries of the small buisness man, amd the small farmer. They have been here a long time.

They have a long, long, weary, bloody history"- Orson Welles

With trunks of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather

I have come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on ninety five
And pretend that it's the ocean
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
Baby do you know what I mean"- Emmylou Harris
