“My self . . . is a dramatic ensemble. Here a prophetic ancestor makes his appearance. Here a brutal hero shouts. Here an alcoholic bon vivant argues with a learned professor. Here a lyric muse, chronically love-struck, raises her eyes to heaven. Her papa steps forward, uttering pedantic protests. Here the indulgent uncle intercedes. Here the aunt babbles gossip. Here the maid giggles lasciviously. And I look upon it all with amazement, the sharpened pen in my left hand.” LooksSelfHandsEyeLeftHeavenStepsHeroRaisesAppearanceArguingDramaticLook UpProtestPensGossipProfessorsAncestorBrutalMuseHer EyesUnclesAuntAlcoholicsMaidsSteps ForwardAmazementPropheticEnsembleGigglePapaLeft HandPedantic Book:The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918 Source: The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918

“This guy from L.A. sits down next to me, and he says "you like baseball?" I said, "Oh, man, I love baseball." So he goes "Did you know that if Jesus had played ball, he'd have been the greatest ball player ever?" Like I'm gonna argue with that logic. So I sat there for a second, and then I said "did you know that if Babe Ruth had been the Messiah, the Catholics would have beer and hot dogs at Communion?"
