Benjamin Hale Quotes
Enjoy the top 7 famous quotes, sayings and quotations by Benjamin Hale.
“It is a notably obscene crime of our language that educate is not an intransitive verb.”
— Benjamin Hale —
We, and I mean humans, are meaning makers. We do not discover the meanings of mysterious things, we invent them. We make meanings because meaninglessness terrifies us above all things. More than snakes, even. More than falling, or the dark. We trick ourselves into seeing meanings in things, when in fact all we are doing is grafting our meanings onto the universe to comfort ourselves. We gild the chaos of the universe with our symbols. To admit that something is meaningless is just like falling backward into darkness. (p184)
— Benjamin Hale
If you ever have children, tell them they must always be drunk. Drunk on love, drunk on poetry, drunk on wine, it doesn't matter. This world is too goddamn painful to waste a second of your existence sober.
— Benjamin Hale
“It is a notably obscene crime of our language that educate is not an intransitive verb.”
— Benjamin Hale
It seems to me there are two things humans like to pretend simply do not happen
two things, two inescapable actions in life, one of which is a daily concern, and the other, come to think of it, is also a daily concern, even though it will only happen to you once: defecating and dying.
— Benjamin Hale
