Whirlwinds dance across the salt flats, a pillar of dust by day; the thornbush breaks into flame at night. What does it mean? It means nothing. It is as it is and has no need for meaning. The desert lies beneath and soars beyond any possible human qualification. Therefore, sublime.” NeedsHumansMeanDoePhilosophyLyingNightBreakSunCuttingAirRocksCleanMythFleshTheologyBitterClarityDustDesertFlamesFlatsSaltSublimeSoarMistPillarsFablesQualificationsDogmaticOdor Author:Edward Abbey

Whenever an understanding of greater acuteness or more diligent observation would alter those lines to suit the true distinctions of nature, words complain.” MenBelieveReasonPhilosophyTurnsNamesBeliefLanguageUnderstandingLinesCommonGreaterCuttingFashionDrawsObviousComplainingSuitsObservationDistinctionIdolsTwistsAlliancesDiligentTroublesome Author:Francis Bacon
