Bio

i am kate.
i love ice cream, jane austen, and old people.
i don't hate much of anything; it requires too much effort.
but i do dislike balloons, unfrosted poptarts, and people who talk in third person.

some of my favorite words of wisdom and pieces of poetry...

"no quality of human nature is more remarkable, both in itself and in its consequences, than that propensity we have to sympathize with others, and to receive by communication their inclinations and sentiments, however different from, or even contrary to, our own."
~david hume

"if we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, 'does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?' no. 'does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?' no. commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion."
~david hume

"What? in a names that which we call a Rose,
By any other word would smell as sweete."
~juliet in romeo and juliet by william shakespeare

"Let me not to the marriage of true mindes
Admit impediments, loue is not loue
Which alters when it alteration findes,
Or bends with the remouer to remoue.
O no, it is an euer fixed marke
That lookes on tempests and is neuer shaken;
It is the star to euery wandring barke,
Whose worths vnknowne, although his hight be taken.
Lou's not Times foole, though rosie lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickles compasse come,
Loue alters not with his breefe houres and weekes,
But beares it out euen to the edge of doome:
If this be error and vpon me proued,
I neuer writ, nor no man euer loued."
~sonnet 116 by william shakespeare

"i think we have the statue of liberty on the east coast. but in the name of freedom, people have done a lot of damage. i think we have to build a statue of responsibility on the west coast in order to counterbalance. because liberty without responsibility is not true liberty. we are not free to destroy."
~thich nhat hanh

no human thing is of serious importance.
~plato

"there will be time, there will be time
to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
there will be time to murder and create,
and time for all the works and days of hands
that lift and drop a question on your plate;
time for you and time for me,
and time yet for a hundred indecisions,
and for a hundred visions and revisions,
before the taking of a toast and tea."
~t.s. eliot from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock"

"you tossed a blanket from the bed,
you lay upon your back, and waited;
you dozed, and watched the night revealing
the thousand sordid images
of which your soul was constituted."
~t.s. eliot from "preludes"

"so i walk like i'm on a mission
cuz that's the way i groove
i got more and more to do
i got less and less to prove
it took me too long to realize
that i don't take good pictures
cuz i have the kind of beauty
that moves"
