Kierkegaard wrote about repetition as the greatest human good, because it was close to holiness. Yet to me it is so strange that I do the same thing over and over, that I take the same route to the grocery store or when I walk home—it’s intolerable. I want interruptions, I want things to be different all the time.”<br/><br/> - <em>Jimmie Durham</em>http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/48947248346http://www.minusmanhattan.com/post/48947248346Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:51:00 -0500quotesjimmie durhaminspiration
