Do you think there's a heaven?

I always used to think that Heaven is a place for people who spent their whole life doing good, but it isn’t. God is too merciful and kind to make a decision like that. Heaven is simply a place for people who were genuinely unable to be happy on earth. They told me here that people who kill themselves return to live their life all over again, because the fact that they didn’t like it the first time doesn’t mean they won’t fit in the second time. But the ones who really don’t fit in the world wind up here. They each have their own way of getting to Heaven. – Etgar Keret

Mmmm... that's good truth

What you’re chewing on’s the truth and that’s the hardest thing to wash down with a glass of lemonade – XTC, The Ugly Underneath

The World is Flat!! The World is Flat!!


An unspeakable horror seized me. There was darkness; then a dizzy, sickening sensation of sight that was not like seeing; I saw space that was not space: I was myself, and not myself. When I could find voice, I shrieked aloud in agony, “Either this is madness or it is Hell.” “It is neither,” calmly replied the voice of the sphere, “it is Knowledge; it is Three Dimensions: open your eye once again and try to look steadily.” I looked, and behold, a new world! – Edwin Abbott, Flatland



For the record... the last 2 minutes of the song are, in my opinion, two of the most beautiful moments in all of music.
