with life's energy

like an old crow
on the vines of my mind”

“Cramped in all kinds of dim cupboards and hutches at Tellson's, the oldest of men carried on the business gravely. When they look a young man into Tellson's London house, they hid him somewhere til he was old. They kept him in a dark place, like a cheese, until he had the full Tellson flavour and blue-mould upon him. Then only was he permitted to be seen, spectacularly poring over large books and casting his breeches and gaiters into the general weight of the establishment.”

“Coorie believes in looking out for ways to make the most of what's around us, creating coorie on the cheap is easy.
An added bonus of many of these coorie activities is that they force us to slow down and ask deeper questions about where we are going and where we have been.
They also encourage collaboration, whether that's spending time with our nieces and nephews baking cakes, taking our dogs for a walk, combing the beach for shells or chatting to older generations about the history of our country.
There are countless ways to embody coorie into your days at work, days off, nights in the city and nights out in the wild.”
― Gabriella Bennett, The Art of Coorie: How to Live Happy the Scottish Way

“The young were at least smooth-skinned and straight; the old were flabby and wrinkled. At least, he thought, they should pony up some piece of timeless wisdom to make up for their wretchedness: yet most shambled from breakfast to bedtime in the same dumb state that had taken them through adolescence. A fair number had grown up quite simply dimwits, and stubbornly remained so even in their dotage. He wanted to venerate them, for with their lined faces and dignified bearing they reminded him of august men of state. But then they spoke.”
― Lydia Millet, How the Dead Dream

“In the sea of her guests, I feel like an old man, a vintage vinyl in a world of Spotify playlists.”

“Jag tänkte, att om detta och allt annat, som människor hade upprättat pÃ¥ denna jorden, hade fÃ¥tt finnas kvar, sÃ¥ skulle den vara alldeles uppfylld av härlighet. För man ser vid varje steg, som man tar där ute, hur obeskrivligt grant där har varit. Men sÃ¥ kom jag att tänka pÃ¥ att om allt detta hade funnits kvar, sÃ¥ hade vi, som nu levde, ingenting att ta oss till, för dÃ¥ behövdes inte vÃ¥rt arbete.”
― Selma Lagerlöf, Jerusalem

“He used to be like a Snake Oil Salesman in the wild west
hawking his wares in the town square
as if at the carny.
Branded tower condos. Steaks. Deodorant. Water. Vodka.
Ostensible educations--those were pure scam.
Sneakers. Playing cards. NFTs. Bibles.
Swatches of his found-guilty suit.
A Used Car salesman
selling cars designed to run just long enough off the lot
to get him the bucks and the battle win
and plow down everyone around him.

But now he's desperate,
losing even his ability to coerce and con,
which is the only ability he ever had.”
― Shellen Lubin

“He's already been president.
We know his policies, his jurist picks,
and all his methodologies.
We know who he cozies up to and who he leaves
out in the cold and diseased air...

He's become a Used Trump Salesman.
And all his marketers, campaign officials, and media strategists
are Used Trump Salesmen
with a desperate, deteriorating Used Trump
they're equally as desperate to sell.”
― Shellen Lubin
