Words I Like
"This is the area where
I make my candles."—Jarrod, Eagle vs. Shark
The way you drop is like a stone
Making out you're flying
But you've just been thrown.—The Jesus and Mary Chain, "Drop"
There was a book in the library about Holland. There were lovely foreign names in it and pictures of strangelooking cities and ships. It made you feel so happy.
—James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

—Ursula K. Le Guin,
Introduction,

—Jerri Blank

—Iain M. Banks,
Excession"I hope you will consider what I arrange, but be skeptical of it."
—John Berger,
Ways of SeeingSome sort of pressure must exist; the artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.
—Andrei Tarkovsky
