snagamat:

omigod, lady. i am in my house and you are fully across the street talking into an idling car (i.e. over it’s engine) and i can still feel your baby talk like fingernails on the chalkboard of my spine.

ok so she does it because she’s taking the baby into the house. at least i think so. that’s all well and good and whatever. but why does the engine have to be on? i don’t get it and the engine is worse than baby talk.

“…We propose liberating painting from its subservience to the ready-made form of reality and to make it first and foremost a creative, not a reproductive art.

The savage happily drawing the outlines of a bull or a deer on a piece of stone, the primitive, the academician, the artists of antiquity and of the Renaissance, the Impressionists, the Cubists, and even to some degree the Futurists are all united by the same thing: the object, These artists are intrigued, delighted, amazed and gladdened by nature. They try to fathom her essence, they aspire to immortalize her…”

i usually don’t like seeing books treated like this (although I’ve done it myself…hmm…something to explore soon?), but this is too good.

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 09:06:56 -1000

“Fairy tales, then, are not responsible for producing in children fear, or any of the shapes of fear; fairy tales do not give the child the idea of the evil or the ugly; that is in the child already, because it is in the world already. Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.”

- G.K. Chesterton, Tremendous Trifles (via nextstopbliss)
