Awesome stuff
It’s not quite del.icio.us, but here’s an unfiltered, barely categorized, and nascent list of things I think are awesome.
Quotes:
You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do. Anne Lamott
Cultural theory as we have it promises to grapple with some fundamental problems, but on the whole fails to deliver. It has been shamefaced about morality and metaphysics, embarrassed about love, biology, religion and revolution, largely silent about evil, reticent about death and suffering, dogmatic about essences, universals and foundations, and superficial about truth, objectivity and disinterestedness. This, on any estimate, is rather a large slice of human existence to fall down on. It is also, as we have suggested before, rather an awkward moment in history to find oneself with little or nothing to say about such fundamental questions. Terry Eagleton, After Theory
