COUNT CUNTULA

“I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.”

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

“Things arise and she lets them come;

“You think attention is love, and that’s why you suffer so deeply.”

“Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest — thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.”

“I heard an airplane passing overhead. I wished I was on it.”

“I withdraw from people and places from time to time. I need space from a world that is filled with millions of mouths that talk too much but never have anything to say.”
