The Inane Musings of a Cynical Moderate

The Inane Musings of a Cynical Moderate

Vital Information for Your Everyday Life

Listening to Wagner’s “Lohengrin: Prelude to Act I” to help with my sudden hit of depression. Beautiful piece.

"Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun."

J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Fellowship of the Ring - Chapter III: Three is Company”

"I will defend the absolute value of Mozart over Miley Cyrus, of course I will, but we should be wary of false dichotomies. You do not have to choose between one or the other. You can have both. The human cultural jungle should be as varied and plural as the Amazon rainforest. We are all richer for biodiversity. We may decide that a puma is worth more to us than a caterpillar, but surely we can agree that the habitat is all the better for being able to sustain each. Monocultures are uninhabitably dull and end as deserts."

Stephen Fry, “The Fry Chronicles”

"I can’t sing a song that doesn’t have a message. If it doesn’t have the strength, it can’t lift you."

Mahalia Jackson
