Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable: Hirst has once again found the underwater grotto in his mind where the monsters live

A questão não é “RBI?”, mas “Que RBI?”

Judy Collins - Wildflowers

... como, numa saborosa leitura à hora do almoço, é possível descobrir que, sem nunca ter lido os clássicos da Antiguidade mas não vestindo camisola de nenhuma tribo, afinal, sempre se foi (com imenso proveito), simultaneamente, Cínico, Estóico, Epicurista e Céptico

"Do you believe in a countercultural existence that defies society's conventions? You are a Cynic. Or is life best when we dutifully play the hand that fate gives us, whatever it is, to the best of our abilities? In which case you are a Stoic. Or is the aim to remove the stress and anxiety that comes with society's false demands? You are an Epicurean. Or do you reject any kind of dogma whatsoever? In this case you are a Skeptic" (Battling The Gods: Atheism In The Ancient World - Tim Whitmarsh)

"A group of 'progressive students' from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, begin today what they’re calling 'Resistance School', a '4-week course in anti-Trump activism open to people across the country and the world'”

"Qual o ponto-limite a partir do qual o humano poderá confundir-se com o não humano 'avançado'"?

No TV.

No radio.

This is the real sound of the Underground: (cos it is, y’know actually underground)

No outside influences whatsoever.

A blank canvas (...)"
