“Todos os homens buscam a felicidade. E não há exceção. Independentemente dos diversos meios que empregam, o fim é o mesmo. O que leva um homem a lançar-se à guerra e outros a evitá-la é o mesmo desejo, embora revestido de visões diferentes. O desejo só dá o último passo com este fim. É isto que motiva as ações de todos os homens, mesmo dos que tiram a própria vida ” Blaise Pascal

Translation:

All men seek happiness, This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves. — Blaise Pascal

It’s so cool to watch this photo travel all over the world from my camera one morning and return with a super emo Pascal quote via Brazil.

I took the picture on the left the last time I went surfing, exactly a week before Cate was born. It’s been really popular on Tumblr (for me) and passed 5,000 notes today.

I did a Google image search on it to see how far it’d gone and found the photo on the right, which is an old Astronomy Picture of the Day. Crazy how similarly placed the moon is in both.

Just after midnight, stars shine above a San Diego Trolley that’s dead in its tracks above a darkened Friars Road in San Diego. A guard was posted on the electric light rail unit all night until power was restored later in the morning

Beautiful photo of Sharon Van Etten by Dusdin. Also, cool that Sharon’s on Jagjaguwar now.
