If I were god, I’d make everybody read this. It’s not religious propaganda, I swear — it’s witty and hilarious and thought-provoking (at least to me, and I guess I can be seen as a dry person).

The Velvet Underground “I’ll Be Your Mirror”
I love this song so much that I decided to include the lyrics. Simple and lovely.
I’ll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don’t know
I’ll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you’re home
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you’re twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
‘Cause I see you
I find it hard to believe you don’t know
The beauty you are
But if you don’t let me be your eyes
A hand to your darkness, so you won’t be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you’re twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
‘Cause I see you
I’ll be your mirror

“[T]he university professors expected me to join in teaching the kind of Durkheimian sociology to which they themselves inclined… because of their desire to provide a philosophical basis for that moderate liberalism, which is the usual ideological weapon used by oligarchies to combat personal power.”

“And he didn’t just “do” it. He worked over an idea like a diamond cutter with facets and angles and refractions of light. He made you sorry you ever thought you wanted to be a comedian. He was like a train hobo with a chicken bone. When he was done there was nothing left for anybody.”
