Vila Wolf's Dyslexic Folklorist Ranting

Hmm... I've got a strange and bizarre mind. I know what you're saying, doesn't everyone on the internet? I can say this, I'm not for everyone. It was once said that I've got a razor wit, a dark sarcasm and one hell of a twisted sense of humor. I like horror, I am a folklorist and I smoke. "Let me share something with you, a secret, We believe what we want to believe....the rest is all smoke and mirrors." - Arnaud de Fohn Posts I've Liked

Thinking of his laboratory reminded him of other elements of his life, his real life and business, away from all the alarums and excursions people seemed hell-bent upon imposing on him. Such nonsense, so distracting. He looked at the empty chair opposite him across the small table and imagined it occupied. He sank into a brown study as he considered the vagaries of fate that had led him to this place and this time and breakfast by himself.

“Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I’m not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can’t, can you? You know something, I don’t think the sun even… exists… in this place. ‘Cause I’ve been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here.”

John Murdoch, Dark City (1998)

June 6, 2012: Ray Bradbury dies at 91.

The great American author (best known for his science-fiction works) of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and hundreds of other novels, short stories, plays, passed away today after “a lengthy illness”. The obituary that appeared in The New York Times calls him “the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream”. Following Bradbury’s death, Steven Spielberg said of the author: “In the world of science fiction and fantasy and imagination he is immortal”; President Obama remarked that “his gift for storytelling reshaped our culture and expanded our world”. 

More quotes from Bradbury and from his works:

Books were only one type of receptacle where we started a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical about them at all. The magic is only with what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment.
If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war.
Stuff your eyes with wonder … live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you’ll never learn.

- Fahrenheit 451

There was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves.

- The Martian Chronicles

A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.
The first thing you learn in life is you’re a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you’re the same fool.

- Dandelion Wine

Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.

- “The Meadow”

I wonder how many men, hiding their youngness, rise as I do, Saturday mornings, filled with the hope that Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam and Daffy Duck will be there waiting as our one true always and forever salvation?

For example, it is hard to imagine that the first Americans could easily have avoided the attentions of the several species of lions that stalked the herds of huge bison and other grazers. Or the clutches of the short-faced bear, a predator that stood as high at the shoulder as a moose and could probably run, at least in spurts, as fast as the camels and horses that, among other prey, it ate. Known to science from minimal remains and called Arctodus simus, this graceful monster was almost certainly the most dangerous predator that roamed Ice Age America. Not long ago, a Russian paleontologist visited the Natural History Museum in Utah and was shown the largest short-faced bear femur known—it was longer than an entire human leg. The Russian erupted in exasperation, asking ‘Why does the United States have the biggest everything on the planet?’
