Gravity’s Rainbow…

More about Gravity’s Rainbow…

Does one ever wonder why the past becomes the futures present? Why that’s insane, how can the past possibly be in the future’s moment? What’s a dream then? A dream? Yes, a dream? It happens when you sleep! Are you sure? Perhaps you’re awake? You make no sense. Of course I do, If you’re awake then why are you here instead of where you dreaming? Perhaps if you’re awakened you’ll stop dreaming and know the answer to your questions. dPwOrKs2 group

Quote: Don't forget the real business of war is buying and selling. The murdering and violence are self-policing, and can be entrusted to non-professionals. The mass nature of wartime death is useful in many ways. It serves as spectacle, as diversion from the real movements of the War. It provides raw material to be recorded into History, so that children may be taught History as sequences of violence, battle after battle, and be more prepared for the adult world. Best of all, mass death's a stimolous to just ordinary folks, little fellows, to try 'n' grab a piece of that Pie while they're still here to gobble it up. The true war is a celebration of markets. by Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow
