What inspires us?

Dearest readers, we have been together through revolutions and all the wonders that have met my eyes... and yet, I have never really told you what it is that inspired me to share these moments with you.

If someone else has already said it best - if you can't top it - steal from them and go out strong.

Will: I don't care if Helen of Troy walks in the room, that's game six!

Sean: Oh, Helen of Troy...

Will: Oh my God, and who are these fuckin' friends of yours they let you get away with that?

Sean: Oh... They had to.

Will: W-w-w-what'd you say to them?

Sean: I just slid my ticket across the table and I said, "Sorry guys, I gotta see about a girl."

Will: I gotta go see about a girl?

Sean: Yeah.

Will: That's what you said? And they let you get away with that?

Sean: Oh yeah. They saw in my eyes that I meant it.

Will: You're kiddin' me.

Sean: No, I'm not kiddin' you, Will. That's why I'm not talkin' right now about some girl I saw at a bar twenty years ago and how I always regretted not
going over and talking to her. I don't regret the 18 years I was married to Nancy. I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling when she got sick. And I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. And I sure as hell don't regret missin' the damn game. That's regret.

Yesterday I learnt what Nietzsche meant when he spoke of Goethe:

Goethe ... fought the mutual extraneousness of reason, senses, feeling, and will ... Such a spirit who has become free stands amid the cosmos with a joyous and trusting fatalism, in the faith ... that all is redeemed and affirmed in the whole - he does not negate any more. Such a faith ... is the highest of possible faiths.

He does not negate anymore, he does not have regrets.


My dear readers here is my ticket, i have to go see about a girl.
