The creative powers of nature are chaotic and neutral. The creative power of man is ordered and potentially good. |

Chaotic people often have chaotic lives, and I think they create that. But if you try and have an inner peace and a positive attitude, I think you attract that. |
| Desmond Tutu |
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. |
| Margaret Mead |
Human nature is potentially aggressive and destructive and potentially orderly and constructive. |
| Pierre de Fermat |
But it is impossible to divide a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into fourth powers, or generally any power beyond the square into like powers; of this I have found a remarkable demonstration. This margin is too narrow to contain it. |
| Noah Feldman |
We often imagine that the court serves as a sort of neutral umpire controlling the warring political branches. But this is mostly myth. The justices of the Supreme Court are themselves actors in the struggle for power, and when they intervene, they think carefully about how their decisions will affect the court's own legitimacy and authority. |
| Louis Farrakhan |
I am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity. |

Happiness is such a good state, it doesn't need to be creative. You're not creative from happiness, you're just happy. You're creative when you're miserable and depressed. You find the key to transform things. Happiness does not need to transform. |
| Adam Hamilton |
In America our public schools are intended to be religiously neutral. Our teachers and schools are neither to endorse nor to inhibit religion. I believe this is a very good thing. |
| John F. Kennedy |
When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. |
| J. R. R. Tolkien |
Hobbits are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, more numerous formerly than they are today; for they love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-farmed countryside was their favourite haunt. |

My wife had a dream that she had some rainbow holders that shot rainbows. They were little rainbows that you hold in your hand and we were trying to find them. It was kinda Buffy the Vampireish Slayer vibes. There was a character who was good but bad potentially but didn't want to get the rainbow powers because they were worried that they would be bad, but we needed the rainbow powers for something. Someone needed the rainbow powers. Somehow my wife got access to the avatar state and was in some trippy dimension. You know when Aang goes into his dimension with the galaxy or whatever. It was kind of like that but she was inside a tree with these two old monk men.

I have a big problem: There is a forum I've written on for a couple years now called high existence where people ponder reality and different social issues with regards to freedom and truth and love. Ive met two alcoholic guys there who are very creative and I started to look up to them more than myself bc they always seemed to have an answer for everything, even if it was that I was a worthless cunt doll who should be dragged by the hair and curb stomped. I shared so much with these people and still look up to them so much even though they both think I'm a pathetic attention whore and say I'm so empty I can't fill a blank space and only want the d. They take all of my anxiety and worry from their slander and channel it into making art that everyone else admires them for as creative geniuses. One of then claimed to be In love with me for a year and spoke to me everyday with seeming sincerity, and even got me to drive to Minnesota to see

An idea that came from lots of caffeine and appeared to sort of work when I tried it. When alone, with no distractions, try to think of random and creative things. You will soon notice a sort of limitation to the form and rapidity that these things have and come into your mind. At that point, consciously choose to stop and think more outside of the box, with broader shapes and ideas. Feel out the edges of where this new approach can take you and you will soon encounter another wall of sorts past which your mind isn't really creative enough to go. At this point, again consciously stop imagining strange things and focus entirely on your senses and spatial awareness. For me I noticed that by trying to push the limits of the inside of my head I felt a noticeable difference in the way I percieved the "real" world. I felt as though the space my body and mind occupy have been given more room, more fresh air, more fluidity. This was especially noticeable with my hearing, which seemed much sha...

Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Never stop when you are stuck. You may not be able to solve the problem, but turn aside and write something else. Do not stop altogether.
Love what you do.
Be honest with yourself. If you are no good, accept it. If the work you are doing is no good, accept it.
Don’t hold on to poor work. If it was bad when it went in the drawer it will be just as bad when it comes out.

short bios, describe yourself in 60 characters, sort of thing. don't know if I'm into the prevalence they have in our lives. could be an interesting creative exercise but they usually into a couple labels that relate to our ideal self-concepts or something.

Don't allow feelings of intellectual or spiritual superiority to leak and contaminate others' creative process. Accept the non-tangible aspect of truth and maintain detachment from enlightenment while practicing discernment.

I had a dream that I was at a BBQ of sorts and and there were a bunch of kids with guns and then someone invited their cop friend and that was kind of awkward but then it sort of turned into a restaurant and then I had to go pay and I didn't know what anyone ordered and the waitress was getting upset with me. So I went out to call my friend to ask her what everyone ordered. I had no idea where they were but she and this other person had just left me there and went to a pool party and then one of them was like "hold on, listen carefully to this" and then started using a soundboard to communicate with me so I was pissed and hung up.

I ordered pizza and my house is kimdve difficult to find if you don't know where it is. For special instructions I wrote 'if you are facing the house their is a sidewalk on the right that leads to a door. There will be a man in a yellow poncho, his name is Hank, and he will take you to the whopper lair."
A. I hope they actually bring me pizza. I normally order as Max Power but thought that was too much this time.
B. I hope someone laughed and got the joke. Lol

I had a dream that I was looking for a roommate and this girl said she wanted to meet up at Burger King. I haven't been to a Burger King in years. I got there first and ordered some food and then she asked me to order for her. She ordered 35 dollars worth of chicken nuggets and then asked for a dozen bottles of orange flavored Perrier water... which I'm pretty sure Burger King does not have. She never showed up and I don't really remember what happened after that but I think I ate all the nuggs.

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was ri...
