性、爱、美
依弗洛伊德的意见,Love和Sex没有多少区别。这Sex交易是文明社
会的一般。老弗爷还说,如果把任何东西联想成了Sex,就不再会功
用主义,比如你与女保姆生爱,就不再压迫伊劳动。。。
他还说了一段,性器官虽令人痴迷,然而,人们在意的美多在第二性
征上。看来,人类文化的爱、美确实与“性”有了变异。

The wonderful thing about getting old is that you can forget about sex. It's a greatly overrated and overpublicised activity and it only further complicates people's lives.

Money, Power, Love
昨天在写一首叫“家庭”的读史笔记,想到现代家庭的父权制,私产
,长子继承权,以经济为基础而不是自然。当然,爱情在另一线发展
:古巴比伦的神妓,希腊的公妓,中国官妓,中世纪骑士偷情,成就
不薄的性爱文化,亦是文明一种强内力。传承,还是异化?有点对立
统一规律。让我当年写的一首血的诗有点相形见拙:

这后者倒是发自根底与内心,但也不是不受经济制约。说高根鞋,就
是弗罗伦萨妓女发明。说希腊妓女成就了希腊高级文化。弗罗伦萨是
当时的纽约,不仅有高根鞋,还有但丁,还有马基雅维里。
有一句话叫“权利是春药”,在张爱玲的《色*戒》后更走红。其实
很真实的。达尔文研究到人类的第二性征,我看人类文化繁衍得够快
,现在第三性质,第四性征都异化出来了。比如钱、权,怎么不是爱
情的选择?就连男女的装束都讲究牌子和派头。住行,哪里不衬托出
一个猴腮相的瘪三成其所谓花花公子,说是王子派头也不过头。
还记得Beatles那首歌Can't buy me love?
Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
Beatles解散四十年了,当初说原因,一个是钱,一个是女人。

我知道你是打字笔误,所以最好改一下,因为你的文字一向写的很认真,是“权力”。

My favorite quote of all time:
君子之交,其淡如水;
执象而求,咫尺千里。
问余何适,廓而忘言;
华枝春满,天心月圆。

我看见过xw的几个笔误,推断他不用拼音。这个“权利”不像笔误,
可能是“权力”加“利益”的意思。我要是猜对了呢,我没白读侦探故事。 - Re: Quotes of the dayposted on 09/19/2009

美与功用
有人挑剔咖啡里没什么思想,咱就迎头而上,读达尔文,读弗洛伊德
,读马克思,也学着怎么思想一下。以前按奥义书的沉思来思想,估
计不符合西方学究标准。这达马弗总该够标了吧?
前面说第二性征与美,说到女保姆,再加上我前不久看“一大跳”中
提到的“艺术最不讲功用”,其实纯哲学,宗教又何尝不是?要说功
用,怕适得其反。我现在正深受其害而不能自拔!
故而,没有一定闲心闲情(西方是闲钱闲势)玩不起。
又要说到作为第二性征的美,性异化,功用异化。就比如如保姆飞身
成情妇,这苦活是不能干了的,其实爱妻何尝不是?苦累成了黄脸婆
,自己也说不过去。再说,苦成了萝卜干的女人,性感就免谈,美就
更不能联想到一处去。这么说,真正妇人的美,除了闲情,还真不能
干苦活重活累活,担太大责任,就是说不要太有功用。
当然也有该花心力的地方去,比如画画,听音乐,看歌剧。

I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
How wrong is it for women to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than set out to create it herself.
I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’?

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.
