Get Out of my Head

Tuesday, November 02, 2004

Does this count as extra credit?

I've read Dante's Inferno for one of my classes and, though the class may usually seem utterly pointless, I found a couple of things in it that got me thinking. It's funny how I can relate to things in a story about Hell, is it not? Anyhoo...

"I come from where I most long to return"

"There is no greater sorrow than thinking back upon a happy time in misery"

"How incomplete is speech, how weak, when set against my thought!"

"You only dwell within Yourself, and only You know You; Selfknowing, Self-known, You love and smile upon Yourself!"

Hmmmmm... profound. Just thought I'd pass along some intriguing words. I know I can relate...
-I came from home... I miss it there.
-There is nothing worse than taking a terrific memory and twisting it and making it sad. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened people.
-I often feel like I can't fully express myself. Everything makes so much more sense in my head.
-I also feel/know that no one really knows me, but I know myself damnit.
