“It seems to me a worthy goal: try to create a representation of consciousness that's durable and truthful, i.e., that accounts, somewhat, for all the strange, tiny, hard-to-articulate, instantaneous, unwilled things that actually go on in our minds in the course of a given day, or even a given moment.” TryingMindHardMomentsSeemsCoursesGivenGoalConsciousnessStrangeGoes OnAccountsWorthyTinyTruthfulRepresentationInstantaneous Author:George Saunders

“One could go on for ever as to whether the paint should be thick or thin, whether to paint the woman or the square, hard-edge or soft, but after a while such questions become a bore.

“When you get into fashion, when you're not yet working in fashion, you have this idea about what the fashion world is: that it's very glamorous, it's the red carpet, it's very editorial. But really, what you don't understand until you get into it, is what goes on the rest of the time, which is just hard work. Besides passion and dedication, it's the grit.

“Imagism was a reductio ad absurdum of one or two tendencies of romanticism, such a beautifully and finally absurd one that it is hard to believe it existed as anything but a logical construction; and what imagist found it possible to go on writing imagist poetry? A number of poets have stopped writing entirely; others, like recurring decimals, repeat the novelties they commeced with, each time less valuably than before. And there are surrealist poetry, and political poetry, and all the othe refuges of the indigent.” WritingBelieveTwoHardPoliticalFoundNumbersPoetGoes OnAbsurdTendenciesRepeatsLogicalAdsConstructionRefugeNoveltyRomanticismHard To BelieveRecurringSurrealistDecimals Author:Randall Jarrell

“A lot of artists give up because it's just too damn hard to go on making art in a culture that by and large does not support its artists. But the people who don't give up are the people who find a way to believe in abundance rather than scarcity. They've taken into their hearts the idea that there is enough for all of us, that success will manifest itself in different ways for different sorts of artists, that keeping the faith is more important than cashing the check, that being genuinely happy for someone else who got something you hope to get makes you genuinely happier too.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartDoeArtImportantIdeasDifferentHardEnoughArtistCultureSupportTakenGoes OnGiving UpChecksDamnDifferent WaysAbundanceManifestDon't Give UpScarcityKeep The Faith Author:Cheryl Strayed
