I Think We Are In Rats Alley Where The Dead Men Lost Their Bones.

I think we are in rats’ alley Where the dead men lost their bones.

T. S. Eliot, excerpt of The Waste Land (via thewinedarksea)

“To make someone an icon is to make him an abstraction, and abstractions are incapable of vital communication with living people.”

— David Foster Wallace, Consider the Lobster

In fact, I am a pessimist. But when I’m making a film, I don’t want to transfer my pessimism onto children. I keep it at bay. I don’t believe that adults should impose their vision of the world on children, children are very much capable of forming their own visions. There’s no need to force our own visions onto them.

Miyazaki Hayao (via hayao-miyazaki)

There are a lot of different types of freedom. We talk about freedom the same way we talk about art, like it is a statement of quality rather than a description. ‘Art’ doesn’t mean good, or bad. 'Art’ just means art. It can be terrible and still be art. Freedom can be good, or bad, too. There can be terrible freedom. You freed me and I didn’t ask you to; I didn’t want you to. I am more free now than I have ever been and I am spiraling.

Alice Isn’t Dead Ep. 2, Joseph Fink (via arrogant-swine)

I felt like crying but nothing came out. It was just a sort of sad sickness, sick sad, when you can’t feel any worse. I think you know it. I think everybody knows it now and then. But I think I have known it pretty often, too often.

Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness

Some nights I wish that this all would end 'Cause I could use some friends for a change

Some Nights; Fun.
