“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.” - Stanley Kubrick via robot-heart
The direct recognition of your true nature is available in every instant, on or off the cushion, whether you meditate or not... via Pointing to the Moon
"Poetry is, I think, the highest medium that mankind has ever come up with," he asserted in a 1981 interview. "It's language itself, which is a miraculous medium which makes everything else that man has ever done possible." James Dickey | Poets.org
"A new type of artist arises: someone whose task is to gather together existing but overlooked pieces of amateur art, and, by directing attention onto them, to make them important. (This is part of a much larger theory of mine about the new role of curatorship, the big job of the next century.)" - Brian Eno via Kevin Kelly
“Punk was a time and a place,” she said, “a pinpointed moment that will never be re-created or re-established, but its influence is really legendary at this point, much more than anybody ever thought it would be.” But Cervenka isn’t looking back from Los Angeles, her former home. No, the queen of L.A. punk moved to Jefferson City in 2006 to create collage art in a large barn. She writes, and she is still making music. “When you live in a big city your whole adult life, it’s nice to get away,” she explained, “and I didn’t grow up in a big city; I grew up in small towns.” Cervenka now enjoys the luxuries of rural life, appreciating her limestone house and the black Angus cows that dot her horizon. via Columbia Tribune
Inverted Commas: Andy Warhol: Interesting Andy Warhol quote via Boing Boing and The Happiness Project:
"Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.”
Poet. Lover of academy and porch.
