“A continuous perception is taking place deep within the mind. It is hard to hear that signal because it is blurred over by your own thoughts, desires, and fears. It is blurred over by your emotional swings. You become dull.” MindHardDesireSeeingEmotionalPerceptionDullSwingsSignalsDeep Within Author:Frederick Lenz
“[Vathek] has, in parts, been called, but to some judgments, never is, dull: it is certainly in parts, grotesque, extravagant and even nasty. But Beckford could plead sufficient "local colour" for it, and a contrast, again almost Shakespearean, between the flickering farce atrocities of the beginning and the sombre magnificence of the end. Beckford's claims, in fact, rest on the half-score or even half-dozen pages towards the end: but these pages are hard to parallel in the later literature of prose fiction.” EndsHardFactsLiteratureHalfFictionJudgmentPagesClaimsLocalsSufficientColourDullProseScoreDozenContrastNastyParallelsAtrocitiesExtravagantGrotesqueMagnificenceFarce Author:William Thomas Beckford
“This project started nearly twenty years ago as an assignment in my typography class at art school. Students were encouraged to see letters beyond their dull, practical functionality.

This became a lifelong project for me.” YearsArtHardSchoolFeltChallengesClassPossibilityStudentsShapesProjectsUniqueYears AgoLettersTwentiesInfiniteRewardsPracticalsDullLifelongAssignmentsArt SchoolInfinite PossibilitiesTypographyFunctionality Author:Ji Lee
