“I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.” PeopleKnowsPiecesFashionFindingsUglyStoresInsaneAestheticGrossVansThrift Author:Victoria Legrand
“Labels don't mean much to me one way or another -- except when they close the minds of potential readers. I'd much rather we do away with genres and simply file everything under fiction. I know it can work -- one of my favourite record stores (Waterloo Music in Austin) simply files everything alphabetically and no one seems to have much problem finding what they're looking for.” KnowsWayMindMeanProblemSeemsFictionRecordsReaderFindingsStoresOne WayLabelsGenreFavouriteFilesAustinRecord StoresWaterloo Author:Charles de Lint

“Creativity is more about taking the facts, fictions, and feelings we store away and finding new ways to connect them. What we're talking about here is metaphor. Metaphor is the lifeblood of all art, if it is not art itself. Metaphor is our vocabulary for connecting what we are experiencing now with what we have experienced before. It's not only how we express what we remember , it's how we interpret it - for ourselves and others.” IfsWayArtFactsFeelingsRememberFictionTalkingCreativityFindingsMetaphorStoresNew WaysVocabularyConnecting Book:The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life Source: The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life
