These hours of afflatus in the human spirt...
"...we keep company in this world with a hoard of abstractions and reflections and counterfeits of ourselves -- the sensual man, the economic man, the man of reason, the beast, the machine and the sleep-walker, and heaven knows what besides, all in our own image, indistinguishable from ourselves to the outward eye. We get borne along, out of sight in the press, unresisting, till we get the chance to drop behind unnoticed, or to dodge down a side street, pause, breathe freely and take our bearings, or to push ahead, outdistance our shadows, lead them a dance, so that when at length they catch up with us, they look at one another askance, knowing we have a secret we shall never share.
Evelyn Waugh

"i used to think that faith, faith was sort of like a building block and you'd put all these blocks together...and you'd build a house sort of like the little pig built that the wolf could not blow down, and now i get older and i feel that faith is a matter of surrender. its a matter of just giving up and leaving that house and just walking out and experiencing the cold and the rain and doubt and confusion and trying to keep up your hope and some sense of gratitude. if you just keep up hope and gratitude maybe thats, maybe thats all you need...

Camus was a keeper??
this makes me happy...mostly that camus was a keeper...also the academy:
"A new football academy in France is aiming to turn its pupils not just into star goalkeepers, but top-class thinkers and citizens...
...The academy's philosophy has drawn comparisons with French writer and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Camus, an Algerian-born philosopher and goalkeeper, who saw the beautiful game as providing moral guidance and inspiration for living."

"Belief and confusion are not mutually exclusive;
I believe that belief gives you a direction in the confusion.
But you don't see the full picture. That's the point. That's what faith is. You can't see it.
It comes back to instinct. Faith is just up the street.
Faith and instinct, you can't just rely on them.
You have to beat them up. You have to pummel them to make sure they can withstand it, to make sure they can be trusted."
