“Geografi Kesedihan yang Tidak Selesai (Nihilism-Lyrical Ver.3.0)
Kesedihan tak hanya
menghentikanku—
ia mengukirku,
menggesek tulangku
seperti batu asah
sampai aku berdiri
di ambang kehancuran
tanpa kemampuan
menemukan jalan kembali.
Jurang menakutkan
di hadapanku
lebih sabar daripada
manusia mana pun.
Aku menolak mengetuk
pintu belas kasihan.
Pasrah adalah mata uang
yang tidak pernah kupahami.
Aku pohon yang keras kepala,
akar goyah di atas tanah retak
namun menolak tumbang.
Aku ingin menjadi menara
agar seseorang akhirnya
melihat diriku tegak berdiri.
Kadang ingin menjelma jadi gapura
agar aku bisa berpura-pura
menjadi awal atau akhir
setiap perjalanan.
Namun itu semua ilusi:
tidak ada yang benar-benar
membaca kesedihan orang lain.
Dalam setiap gerbang,
aku melihat rumah ibu.
Kerinduan yang menetes pelan
seperti kebocoran
yang tak pernah diperbaiki.
Yang berubah hanya aku—
lebih asing,
lebih jauh,
lebih sunyi,
lebih sulit dicintai.
Mimpi lelaki perkasa yang terbang
di atas punggung kuda egonya.
Tak ada yang bisa kulakukan
selain menatapnya pergi
dalam seringai tawa
yang memilukan.
Hidup tidak mudah.
Bahagia tidak pasti.
Yang tersisa hanya
keputusan kecil
yang kadang disebut iman
kadang keraguan.
Dan Tuhan—bukan...
tapi, tuhan—
jika Ia berkenan hadir,
walau dalam huruf kecil:
sebatang lilin yang gemetar
setiap kali aku
menghela napas.

“Geografska širina definira pokrivenost prozora: tako su na jugu prozori prevučeni teškim i neprozirnim tkaninama. Intima se skriva na sve načine, visokim ogradama, zidovima, tkaninama i maramama, zabranama i pravilima. Sramota je život i lice i tijelo i ljutnja i ljubav i seks, sve se skriva i pokriva unutar četiri neprozirna zida.
Naravno, medicina tvrdi, svaki lijek je i otrov, samo je pitanje doze. Skandinavski pristup i nije loš, samo su se malo pogubili s doziranjem.”

“Geographically, Liberia borders the Atlantic Ocean and is situated at the bottom of the “West African Bulge.” It has a wonderful diversified terrain and an abundance of natural resources. This little known country is located southeast of Sierra Leone, south of Guinea and west of Cote d’Ivoire. Liberia has a coastal plain extending 25 miles in from the ocean and is about 350 miles long extending the length of the country. Inland from the coastal plan are rolling hills and low mountains. In this mountain range is Mount Wuteve with an elevation of 4,724 feet. However the highest mountain, although but not wholly within Liberia, is Mount Nimba with an elevation of 5,748 feet.”
“Geographically speaking, I was born on a French island - the île d'Oléron. Otherwise, I come from a milieu where culture was of the utmost importance. I learned music even before I learned to read. I always read books beyond my years.”
“Geographically, Afghanistan is a good place for the terrorists, because it's surrounded by mountains, and there are lots of villages inside mountains, so it's easy for them to hide themselves, or to recruit the people. Whatever they want to do they will do.”
“Geographically, Ireland is a medium-sized rural island that is slowly but steadily being consumed by sheep.”
“Geographically, the global economy is now multi-polar , as new centres of production have emerged in parts of what had been, historically, the periphery of the world economy. The world is now more accurately described as a 'mosaic of unevenness in a continual state of flux'.”

“Geography blended with time equals destiny.”
“Geography divides people only if the people allow it - faith divides people only if the people allow it - intellect divides people only if the people allow it - politics divides people only if the people allow it. So, unless the people allow it, nothing can tear our world apart. Unless you allow it, nothing can tear our society apart.”

“Geography does not define you - love does.”
“Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.”
“Geography has no bearing on it, nor have the interests of the community in which I work.”

“Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.”
“Geography is the art of the mappable.”
“Geography is the key, the crucial accident of birth. A piece of protein could be a snail, a sea lion, or a systems analyst, but it had to start somewhere. This is not science; it is merely metaphor. And the landscape in which the protein "starts" shapes its end as surely as bowls shape water.”

“Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future”
“Geography prepares for the world of work - geographers, with their skills of analysis are highly employable!”
“Geography should be the ultimate deciding factor for every political dilemma for proximity to an ailing land is bound to result in one’s infection.”
“Geography was not furthered by the achievement, scientific progress was scarcely hastened, and nothing new was discovered. Yet the names of Hillary and Tenzing went instantly into all languages as the names of heroes, partly because they really were men of heroic mold but chiefly because they represented so compellingly the spirit of their time.”
“Geological change usually takes thousands of years to happen but we are seeing the climate changing not just in our lifetimes but also year by year.”
“Geological facts being of an historical nature, all attempts to deduce a complete knowledge of them merely from their still, subsisting consequences, to the exclusion of unexceptionable testimony, must be deemed as absurd as that of deducing the history of ancient Rome solely from the medals or other monuments of antiquity it still exhibits, or the scattered ruins of its empire, to the exclusion of a Livy, a Sallust, or a Tacitus.”

“Geologists and paleo-climatologists know that in the past the Earth's temperature has been substantially warmer than it is today, and that this warming has occurred under purely natural circumstances. Until we can say precisely how much of the current global warming and greenhouse gas increase is the result of this normal temperature cycle, we will not be able to measure how much human activity has added to this natural trend, nor will we be able to predict whether there will be any lasting negative effects.”
“Geologists are never at a loss for paperweights.”

“Geologists claim that although the world is running out of oil, there is still a 200-hundred-year supply of brake fluid.”
“Geologists complain that when they want specimens of the common rocks of a country, they receive curious spars; just so, historians give us the extraordinary events and omit just what we want,--the every-day life of each particular time and country.”

“Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.”
“Geologists have usually had recourse for the explanation of these changes to the supposition of sundry violent and extraordinary catastrophes, cataclysms, or general revolutions having occurred in the physical state of the earth's surface.”
“Geology ... offers always some material for observation. ... [When] spring and summer come round, how easily may the hammer be buckled round the waist, and the student emerge from the dust of town into the joyous air of the country, for a few delightful hours among the rocks.”
“Geology differs as widely from cosmogony, as speculations concerning the creation of man differ from history.”

“Geology differs from physics, chemistry, and biology in that the possibilities for experiment are limited.”
“Geology does better in reclothing dry bones and revealing lost creations, than in tracing veins of lead and beds of iron; astronomy better in opening to us the houses of heaven than in teaching navigation; surgery better in investigating organiation than in setting limbs; only it is ordained that, for our encouragement, every step we make in science adds something to its practical applicabilities.”

“Geology gives us a key to the patience of God.”
“Geology has joined biology in lowering mankind's self-esteem. Geology suggests how mankind's existence is contingent upon the geological consent of the planet.”

“Geology has shared the fate of other infant sciences, in being for a while considered hostile to revealed religion; so like them, when fully understood, it will be found a potent and consistent auxiliary to it, exalting our conviction of the Power, and Wisdom, and Goodness of the Creator.”

“Geology holds the keys of one of the kingdoms of nature; and it cannot be said that a science which extends our Knowledge, and by consequence our Power, over a third part of nature, holds a low place among intellectual employments.”

“Geology is part of that remarkable dynamic process of the human mind which is generally called science and to which man is driven by an inquisitive urge. By noticing relationships in the results of his observations, he attempts to order and to explain the infinite variety of phenomena that at first sight may appear to be chaotic.”
“Geology is rapidly taking its place as an introduction to the higher history of man. If the author has sought to exalt a favorite science, it has been with the desire that man-in whom geological history had its consummation, the prophecies of the successive ages their fulfilment-might better comprehend his own nobility and the true purpose of his existence.”

“Geology is the science which investigates the successive changes that have taken place in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature; it enquires into the causes of these changes, and the influence which they have exerted in modifying the surface and external structure of our planet.”

“Geology, in the magnitude and sublimity of the objects of which it treats, undoubtedly ranks, in the scale of the sciences, next to astronomy.”
Source: Preliminary discourse on the study of natural philosophy
“Geology, perhaps more than any other department of natural philosophy, is a science of contemplation. It requires no experience or complicated apparatus, no minute processes upon the unknown processes of matter. It demands only an enquiring mind and senses alive to the facts almost everywhere presented in nature. And as it may be acquired without much difficulty, so it may be improved without much painful exertion.”
“geometria
desenho-me internamente
compro uma lente de aumentar e um enorme espelho
mas não vejo quase nada
compro então um enorme candeeiro
uma lâmpada de luz incandescente
mas está ainda tudo muito escuro
não vejo nada
desisto da caneta e do papel
desenhar-me-ei com cuspo
para isso pego nas tuas mãos
passo os dedos pela tua boca
chupas os teus dedos nas minhas mãos
e com o teu cuspo me desenho enfim
um mínimo concêntrico círculo
quase absolutamente oval
que o teu cuspo configura na macieza da carne
e sorrimos espantados
já que círculos de tão diferentes tamanhos
parecem criar
um lugar
ideal
um intermédio fulcral
um sopro
de natas e ovos
que batidos
e mexidos
fariam
o momento essencial.”

“Geometric calculus consists in a system of operations analogous to those of algebraic calculus, but in which the entities on which the calculations are carried out, instead of being numbers, are geometric entities which we shall define.”
Source: Geometric Calculus: According to the Ausdehnungslehre of H. Grassmann
“Geometric shapes hold an energy pattern, and scientists did some experiments which say certain geometric shapes can affect matter around them. It's simply because when a human looks at a shape, they instantly receive energy from their brain.”
