By and large... the good's an illusion, little fables folks tell themselves so they can get through their days without screaming too much.
Stephen King
Image
Every political sect has its esoteric and its exoteric school--its abstract doctrines for the initiated its visible symbols, its imposing forms, its mythological fables, for the vulgar.

There are places in this world where fable, myth, preconception, love, longing or prejudice step in and so distort a cool, clear appraisal that a kind of high colored magical confusion takes permanent hold...Surely Texas is such a place.
John Steinbeck

Jean Baudrillard

Marc Maron
Image
Don't count your chickens before they egg.
Ross O'Donovan

We were breaking away from anything that linked us to this world, but by doing that those ideas remained even stronger. Fables represent the basis for what I wanted to say about human beings.
Alex Abreu
