QUOTES FROM DAY 3
“What got him was nothing & nothing’s exactly what
anyone Living (or somebody Dead like even a Poet)
could hardly express.
What I mean is what knocked him over wasn’t (for
instance) the Knowing your whole . . . life is a flop
or even to feel how everything (dreamed & hoped &
prayed for months & weeks & days & years & nights &
forever) is less than nothing (which would have been
something) what got him was nothing.”

– e. e. cummings (1958)

“To the as-yet-unborn, to all innocent wisps of
undifferentiated nothingness: watch out for life.
I have caught life. I have come down with life. I was
a wisp of undifferentiated nothingness, and then a
little peephole opened quite suddenly. Light and
sound poured in. Voices began to describe me
and my surroundings. Nothing they said could be
appealed. They said I was a boy named Rudolph
Waltz, and that was that. They said the year was 1932
and that was that. They said I was in Midland City,
Ohio, and that was that.
They never shut up. Year after year, they piled detail
upon detail. They do it still. You know what they say
now? They say the year is 1982, and that I am fifty
years old. Blah blah blah.”

– Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Dead Eye Dick (1983)

“You’ve got to learn your instrument. Then,
you practice, practice, practice.
And then, when you finally get up there on
the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.”

– Charlie “Bird” Parker
 “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”

– William Shakespeare
Macbeth, Act V, Scene V, Line 19

“This is the true joy in life, being used for a
purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty
one; the being a force of nature instead of
a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and
grievances complaining that the world will
not devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to
the whole community and as long as I live, it
is my privilege to do for it what I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die,
for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice
in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief
candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch
which I have got hold of for the moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly as
possible before handing it on to future
generations.”

– George Bernard Shaw
Man And Superman
