Condamnat(ă) la uitare, cu sânge rece

„Teoria mea e că scriitorul ar trebui să-și controleze chicotelile și să-și usuce lacrimile cu mult înainte de a se fi așezat la masa de scris, dacă dorește să provoace reacții similare la cititor. Cu alte cuvinte, cred că intensitatea maximă în artă, sub toate formele ei, e dobândită cu o minte calculată, dură, rece”, scrie Capote în introducerea romanului „Cu sânge rece”.

Ray of light II: More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness – not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there’s room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

Ray of light I: The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

What do I believe in?!

I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it’s aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there’s a cat in a box somewhere who’s alive and dead at the same time (although if they don’t ever open the box to feed it it’ll eventually just be two different kinds of dead).
