It has not that much to have with Astrology (I`ll try to make links) but I feel like sharing some Quotes of this beloved book of mine: Songlines by Bruce Chatwin"A Study of the major disease: abhorrence of the house."
-Baudelaire, Intime diaries
(He had Uranus conj Neptune in the 4th, like me xD)
"No luck knows the man who does not travel.
In the Society of Man shall the best man be the sinner.
For Indra is the friend of the traveler. Therefore travel!"
-Aitareya Brahmana
"Go further!"
-Buddhas last Words on his Students
"Life is a bridge. Go across it, but build no house on it."
-Indian Proverb
"The Pyramid Traditon opposed/faces the Tradition of the Campfire."
-Martin Buber, Moses
"Look! I have a skull painted on top of the pyramid "
"Why did you do that, Sedig?"
"I like to paint uncanny thinks."
"What business does the skull have on top the pyramid?"
"A giant is buried in it, and his skull peeks out"
"What do you think of the giant?"
"He is evil"
"Why?"
"Because he eats people"
-Conversation with Sedig el Fadil el Mahdi, six years old
"Without force(forcing) could no settlement be founded. The workers would have no overseer. The rivers would not (lead) flood."
-Sumerian Text
"The Amorites, who knows no grain ... People, whose onslaught is like a hurricane... A nation that has never known a city..."
-Sumerian Text
"All in all, there are only two kinds of people in the world - those who stay at home, and those who do not."
-Kipling
"A man on foot is not a man at all."
-Cowboy from Texas
xD
"For the Arab Bedouin hell is a sunlit sky, and the sun a strong, bony female creature - nasty, old and full of envy on life, which dries the pastures and the skin of humans. The moon, however, is an agile, energetic young man who guards the sleep of the nomads, shows him the way in nocturnal wanderings, that brings the rain, and dribbles the dew of plants. He has the bad luck to be married to the sun. After a single night with her, he declines and is "eaten". He needs a month to recover"
(Unusuall interpretation of the Sun and the Moon, interesting for astrollogers!)
"Myth is an offer, Action is a decision."
"The Bushmen, which cover vast distances in the Kalahari Desert, is the thought of the surviving of the soul in another world strange. "When we die, we die, they say. The wind blows our footprints away, and this is the end"
So these are some of the great Quotes in this Book! I hope u liked it!
I believe Astrollogy has to do more with Sedentarianism, Nomads had no birthplaces like Citys, had no clock to check the birthtime...
Nomadism and Astrollogy don`t fit eh? what you think?
So if you like leave your comment Astrollogycall ones and none.
I believe this is nice to post for that this is a forgotten side of Humankind, our roots.
And it´s an alternative post..
