“I think when a man first discovers that two and two is four, there is 'beauty' in that; and we can see why. But if people stand and look at the moon and one says 'I think it's just beautiful tonight' and the other says 'The moon makes me feel awful' we are both 'clear'. A geometric shape - we know why we like it; and an unreasonable shape; it has a certain mystery that we recognize as real; but it is difficult to put these things in an objective way.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsMenWayFeelsFirstsLooksTwoRealBeautifulCertainDifficultClearFourMysteryShapesMoonObjectivesAwfulTonightUnreasonableGeometricGeometric Shapes Author:William Baziotes
“Even if you have the wit to look by yourself in a bush away from the other children, there are not many bell crickets in the world. Probably you will find a girl like a grasshopper whom you think is a bell cricket.And finally, to your clouded, wounded heart, even a true bell cricket will seem like a grasshopper. Should that day come, when it seems to you that the world is only full of grasshoppers, I will think it a pity that you have no way to remember tonight's play of light, when your name was written in green by your beautiful lantern on a girl's breast.” IfsThinkingWorldWayShouldLooksHeartChildrenPlayLightSeemsBeautifulRememberGirlNamesWrittenGreenWitPityBreastsTonightBellsWoundedCricketLanternsCloudedYour BeautifulGrasshoppersWounded Heart Author:Yasunari Kawabata
“Some street jokes are just timeless. There's an old street joke about comedians. The joke is that a beautiful girl comes up to a comedian at the end of the night and says, "I saw your show tonight, and I just loved it. I want to go home with you, and I'll do anything you want." And the comedian says, "Were you at the 7 or the 9?" That's just a perfect joke, because it points out how egomaniacal and obsessive comedians are. Even though I'm not waiting for a groupie, I can completely understand it. It just defines how comedians are driven.” WantI CanEndsShowsHomeBeautifulNightGirlWaitingPerfectSawsStreetsJokesCome UpDrivenComedianTonightTimelessObsessiveBeautiful GirlGroupie Author:Amy Schumer
