Chaos Rings

Famous quotes containing the words chaos and/or rings:

    Unable to create a meaningful life for itself, the personality takes its own revenge: from the lower depths comes a regressive form of spontaneity: raw animality forms a counterpoise to the meaningless stimuli and the vicarious life to which the ordinary man is conditioned. Getting spiritual nourishment from this chaos of events, sensations, and devious interpretations is the equivalent of trying to pick through a garbage pile for food.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    Ah, Christ, I love you rings to the wild sky
    And I must think a little of the past:
    When I was ten I told a stinking lie
    That got a black boy whipped....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
