"Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can."
Dalai Lama XIV (via atomos)

"Hear the words “Ford Madox Brown” and “Manchester” in the same sentence, and you think automatically of the Town Hall murals, that 12-part picture book of the city’s history which Brown was commissioned to paint on the interior walls of Alfred Waterhouse’s neo-gothic civic palace in 1878."

No hint of irony. Now, I love this paper to bits, but its pretentiousness can border on self-parody.
