I decided today that my favorite part of being literate is being able to enjoy metaphors. I get so much enjoyment of calling something what it isn’t. The way I see it, metaphors are a poetic reminder that everything is connected.
Frida Kahlo, Tiempo Vuela, 1929
The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side. — Hunter S. Thompson

You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign tongue. Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.
— Rainer Maria Rilke

you don’t need to know who Robert Fripp and Brian Eno are to appreciate just how awesome this record cover is.
And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.
— Douglas Coupland, Life After God

Rather than sculpting, Jim Denevan’s work with sand is freehand drawing, a process that involves a low tide, a long stick and a lot of walking. Each work takes him an average of 7 hours, and he often walks as much as 30 miles. No measuring aids whatsoever are used, and from above Denevan’s drawings look almost like crop circles. Soon after he’s through, the tide comes in and washes away all of his work.
