"YOU’RE NOT QUALIFIED TO GIVE ME FASHION ADVICE, MIRROR. YOU’RE JUST A PERSONIFIED OBJECT."

Stan Le

"I love you because you’re as crazy as I"

The Diary of a Drug Fiend by Aleister Crowley

"If you’re not part of the grueling solution, you’re probably part of the insidiously comfortable problem. If you’re not conspiring to commit smart fun, you’re almost certainly colluding with the disingenuous repression."

…your senses, your life experience, your sensations, your continuity in breathing, it’s the only things you’ll have (rt @missnonhuman)

"We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them."

John Waters (via tulletulle)

WERD

"Of all passions, that which is least known to ourselves is indolence: it is the most ardent and malignant of them all, although its violence may be insensible, and the injuries it causes may be hidden; if we will consider its power attentively, we will see that it makes itself, upon all customs, mistress of our sentiments, of our interests, and of our pleasures; it is the anchor, which has the power to arrest the largest vessels; it is a calm more dangerous to the most important affairs than rocks and the worst tempest. The repose of indolence is a secret charm of the soul which suddenly stops the most ardent pursuits and the firmest resolutions; finally to give the true idea of this passion, one must say that indolence is like a beatitude of the soul which consoles it for all its losses and takes the place of all its possessions."

The Psychology of the Unconscious by Carl Jung
For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight.

"

The world - and even the world of artists - is full of people who can go to the Louvre, walk rapidly, without so much as a glance, past rows of interesting, though secondary pictures, to come to a rapturous halt in front of a Titian or a Raphael - one of those that have been most popularized by the engraver’s art; then they will go home happy, not a few saying to themselves, ‘I know my museum.’…


…however much we may love general beauty, as it is expressed by classical poets and artists, we are no less wrong to neglect particular beauty, the beauty of circumstance and the sketch of manners.

"

Charles Baudelaire, The Painter of Modern Life, 1863

"The modern tourist’s first object is to arrive at a certain point; once there, he disposes of the allotted sights as quickly as possible, and hurries on resignedly to fresh fields, where the same programme is repeated. In the way we live nowadays, a man has scarcely time to collect his thoughts. The events of each day glide past like dissolving views, effacing one another in turn. There is thus a total absence of repose, without which enjoyment of art is an impossibility."

Giovanni Morelli Principles and Method

"What do you think about love at first sight? You think you can love somebody just by looking at ‘em? But the thing is, man, I felt like I knew her. You know. You ever get that feeling? Yeah it’s a feeling… but the thing is, you actually don’t know her."

Dean Periera, Blue Valentine (2010)
brotherdellombra: Was I bored? No, I wasn’t fuckin’ bored. I’m never bored. That’s the trouble with everybody - you’re all so bored. You’ve had nature explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the living body explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the universe explained to you and you’re bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn’t matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it’s new as long as it’s new as long as it flashes and fuckin’ bleeps in forty fuckin’ different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I’m not fuckin’ bored.           from Naked, screenplay by Mike Leigh

          from Naked, screenplay by Mike Leigh

"The maenad / bacchante [μαινάδα] translates to ‘raving one’. Clad in fox / fawn skins, crowned with vine leaves, she is in complete union with primeval nature. Often in a state of ecstatic frenzy brought on by intoxication and dance ~ the goal of this was not promiscuity and drunkenness, but rather insight and prophesy. She calls forth milk and honey from the Earth. Fire does not burn her."

"…psychoanalysis and modernist art share several interests—a fascination with origins, with dreams and fantasies, with the “primitive,” the child, and the insane, and more recently, with the workings of subjectivity and sexuality, to name a few…"

"I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn’t."

—Marilyn Monroe (via pilyangcherubim)
