Prejudice
“The worst aspect of our time is prejudice. In almost everything I’ve written, there is a thread of this—man’s seemingly palpable need to dislike someone other than himself.” ~ Rod Serling
Nothing is Original
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photos, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from — it’s where you take them to.’
~ Jim Jarmusch
Death is the opposite of life
Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Death by Female
Death by female. Yeah, it’s a worry.
~ Jeanette Winterson
