'Good Is Dull. What Novelist Ever Succeeded In Making A Good Man Interesting? . . . Evil On The Contrary,

'Good is dull. What novelist ever succeeded in making a good man interesting? . . . Evil on the contrary, is exciting and fascinating and alive. It is also very much more mysterious than good. Good can be seen through. Evil is opaque.'

Loved it!

text id:      He was shy, anxious, meek, and kind, yet the books he wrote are gruesome and painful. He saw the world as full of invisible demons, tearing apart and destroying defenseless humans. He was too clairvoyant, too intelligent to be capable of living, and too weak to fight. He was weak the way noble, beautiful people are, people incapable of struggling against their fear of misunderstanding, malice, or intellectual deceit because they recognize their own helplessness in advance; their submission only shames the victor. He understood people as only someone of great and nervous sensitivity can, someone who is alone, someone who can recognize others in a flash, almost like a prophet.

Sunday...do I need to say more?

House chores, a long walk in nature, a little second hand book haul and then just relax for the rest of the day.

[14/100] days of productivity

I'm making progress with my process of copying my most valuable screenshots in my commonplace journal. Anything like quotes, interesting facts, useful websites, articles and so on.

I've started transcribing things from Sept. 2023 a couple of days ago, and now I just finished the ones from Oct. 2024!

This is such a therapeutic activity. I love it.

Finally finished reading Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates. Omg. So dark and intense! I'm so glad it is over. Now I've just started White Nights by Fëdor Dostoevskij. As for other stuff, I washed my black clothes and went to the grocery store. Pretty casual day.

ate pasta with chickpeas...it was delicious!
