WIST Quotations

A quotation from Montesquieu

To delight in reading is to trade life’s dreary moments for moments of pure joy.
 
[Aimer à lire, c’est faire un échange des heures d’ennui que l’lon doit avoir en sa vie contre des heures délicieuses.]

Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
Pensées Diverses [Assorted Thoughts], # 1632 / 1143 (1720-1755) [ed. Guterman (1963)]

Love: driving rhythms, seriocomic lyrics, dogged exuberance of this 2001 cover by cult Vancouver geniuses the Be Good Tanyas.

Promise me we won't go into the nightclub
I really think that it's obscene
What kind of people go to meet people
Where they can't be heard or seen?

…I broke the windows of the logging company
Just to get a little release
I had to throw down my accordion
To get away from the police

And I say
Keep it light enough to travel

Day 7:

Someone at my company is on their way out. They left me a lengthy message of praise before they dipped. Like. Massively kind words that really built me up.

This is the second time this happened in as many weeks.

I often wonder if I’m having a positive impact on the world. If I’m offering something. Making a difference. I doubt it constantly. Hearing this kind of thing is truly a gift.

I’m humbled and honored. 🥰

Day 3:

My son went to Japan last month. He was in a museum and picked up this notebook for me. The art is fascinating. Def my style.

Turns out it’s for a project called Potziland Records. It’s some bands that originated out of an art project.

The music isn’t quite to my liking, but I wholly appreciate it. The art is rad, though.

Every day for 10 days I’m gonna share something that brings me joy.

Why? To remind myself why it’s worth fighting fascism. And I hope that it brings a little delight to your timeline as well.

Why 10 days? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let’s be joyful together. Please feel welcome to add a delight from your day to the mix.

Multigrain Cheerios with fruit and walnuts, with vanilla soy milk.
