Ray Bradbury on Libraries

Defender of the truth, the good, and the beautiful. An admirer of perennial philosophy. An advocate of natural law and liberty.

Här tipsar Prekambrium Bokblogg om intressanta poddar och inslag som handlar om böcker, litteratur i allmänhet, kultur och författare. Besök gärna min bokblogg på wordpress.com. Där skriver jag recensioner och reflekterar över det mesta som berör litteraturen. Se länk nedan!

“The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.” 
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

When it comes to music, I have an open mind about it. Music is the universal language after all so what one listens to can certainly have come from another genre. All the more discovery to be had! I also have a Spotify account which happens to be a maelstrom of playlists, but I've made a definite Folder entitled My Spotify Playlists (hey, originality doesn't mean you can single me out... Or can you? Well, you get the idea.) Feel free to follow me if you so wish on both as I plan on taking music from each. Happy listening!
