It preserves health in general and makes those who drink it hearty and fat; it helps the digestion and cures consumption and other maladies of the lung. It is wonderful for fluxes, even the bloody flux, and has been known to cure jaundice and every kind of inflammation. Besides all that, the Englishman wrote, it imparts astonishing powers of reason and concentration. In the years to come, the author said, the man who does not drink coffee may never hope to compete with the man who avails himself of its secrets.","author":"David Liss","tags":["coffee","flux","health"],"id":107947,"author_id":"David+Liss"},{"text":"No permanence is ours; we are a waveThat flows to fit whatever form it finds:Through night or day, cathedral or the caveWe pass forever, craving form that binds.","author":"Hermann Hesse","tags":["desire","flux","form"],"id":111352,"author_id":"Hermann+Hesse"},{"text":"Surely the Gods did not bring me safe through fire and sea only to kill me with a flux.","author":"George R.R.

Sit still with me and meditate on how useless effort is, how alien the will, and on how our very meditation is no more useful than effort, and no more our own than the will. Meditate too on how a life that wants nothing can have no weight in the flux of things, but a life the wants everything can likewise have no weight in the flux of things, since it cannot obtain everything, and to obtain less than everything is not worthy of souls that seek the truth.","author":"Fernando Pessoa","tags":["effort","flux","life","meditation","nihilism","philosophy","tao","useless"],"id":347519,"author_id":"Fernando+Pessoa"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":14,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
