The Proverbial Aphorism
@blue-sky-aphorisms.bsky.social

A commonplace of found aphorisms & proverbs.

"Aphorisms are like airplanes,
they stay up only while they are in motion."
—Nabokov

"All songs are proverbial—
those of birds, rivers, winds, rocks . . ."
—DW
Had a little play with mine - one of them is no longer a #7syllablesentence, but a poem's gotta poem . . .

—Note—

Some of these were already aphorisms. Some are aphoristic sounding excerpts. Others have been edited to fit the aphoristic form. Some were already standalone quotes, while many are fragments from longer poems & prose.
