"Do not be too moral.

You may cheat yourself out of much life.

Aim above morality.

Be not simply good; be good for something."

-Henry David Thoreau

juli said...: connection to what???

the picture i like because of a post i did earlier. i described seeing the sunlight coming through the clouds and this picture is a kind of re-creation of it.
the quote i liked also because of an earlier post...the one about whether i want to be "whole" or "good". this quote is kind of similar and it struck me...guess i just like it.
and then the title i used because i think i've been addicted to morality. some people are addicted to drugs or sex...my whole life i've been feeding the addiction of being moral or..."good". i don't JUST want to be that anymore. i want to be whole, and i think henry is on to something here.

does that help at all???; 5:08 PM
texelct said...: Yes it does thank you very much. I know the sun your talking about and it is amazing. And I do remember the post about "whole" or "good" and I was lost then too. haha
