• les misérables (finale)

  • VALJEAN:
    now you are here
    again beside me
    now i can die in peace
    for now my life is blessed

    COSETTE:
    you will live, papa
    you’re going to live
    it’s too soon to ever say goodbye

    VALJEAN:
    yes, cosette
    forbid me now to die
    i’ll obey
    i will try

    on this page
    i write my last confession
    read it well
    when i at last am sleeping
    it’s a story of those who always loved you
    your mother gave her life for you and gave you to my keeping

    FANTINE:
    come with me
    where chains will never bind you
    all your grief
    at last, at last behind you
    lord in heaven
    look down on him in mercy

    VALJEAN:
    forgive me all my trespasses and take me to your glory

    FANTINE, valjean and eponine:
    take my hand
    and lead me to salvation
    take my love
    for love is everlasting
    and remember
    the truth that once was spoken
    to love another person is to see the face of god

    ALL:
    do you hear the people sing?
    lost in the valley of the night
    it is the music of a people who are climbing to the light
    for the wretched of the earth
    there is a flame that never dies
    even the darkest nights will end and the sun will rise

    they will live again in freedom in the garden of the lord
    they will walk behind the ploughshare
    they will put away the sword
    the chain will be broken and all men will have their reward!

    will you join in our crusade?
    who will be strong and stand with me?
    somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
    do you hear the people sing?
    say, do you hear the distant drums?
    it is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!
    REPEAT

    aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaah
    tomorrow comes!

• the form of the scroll makes it easy to compare the lines of the original text to the lines copied by the scribe — all you need do is to turn the two scrolls at the same rate to expose the corresponding lines at the same time — this simple visual comparison may have made it easier to create (and check) accurate copies of dense texts even if an individual scribe did not (yet) have a deep understanding of a large range of texts or ideas

• when I do something, like read a book, I am not only seeking to read the story of an author's intentions but also the movement of the society in which she lived

• awareness is not simply being able to physically perceive something is happening. we also process the information and fit it in with our understanding of the world. so in each area it is possible to improve permanently, or temporarily enhance by devoting resources. our physical senses, whether we consider information relevant, and whether we can improve our framework of understanding of the world, these are all choices we have.

• sound as more salient in ancient times compared to our visual culture (due to artificial light)

• shininess works because each eye sees a different image. when the images are blended in the brain, the discrepancy causes our attention to be focused on this unusual area.

• focusing

  • ways of focusing
    include singing and reading.

  • focusing too much
    can become a problem because we have the capabilty to do this

  • burnout
    is a risk if truly dedicated.

  • narrow focus
    is problem because it becomes easier to misinterpret reality.

  • so it's actually my high ability to focus which contributes a lot to me doing so many seemingly different things. it's because if i don't try to make time for different things, i end up spending a lot of time on just the thing i am focusing on.

• we all do it, consciously or not. we stop looking for better data when we find data that fits what we were already looking for. just have to be aware of our own and others’ tendency to do this, so we can identify and correct it.

• jared diamond, in his analysis of the trees of Easter island, assumes the last islanders were negligent. actually it is possible that the generation of islanders previous to the last was negligent, that is all that is required. disease, lack of biodiversity and natural death can do the rest. no matter how reverent of the trees that last generation became, they could not being back the dead.

• like the stories of Sherlock Holmes, the few things that are out of place can help us break free of our preconceptions and show us a path towards truth

• the ancient and esoteric traditions essentially say something similar: if we can sweep the cobwebs from our senses, we can more easily perceive reality.

• attending
  • diverted from attention
    it's not that we see things that others do not see. we see the same things. it's just like in sleep, we filter out sounds. the sounds are heard but diverted from attention.

• we notice the masks people wear in cultures other than those we live, because the masks are unfamiliar to us, not because we do not have masks of our own.
