“What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.” LittlesArtMomentsLyingArtistFallAudienceCreatingFalling In LoveTinyLive In The MomentSlides Author:Lady Gaga
“In civilized places idleness, once the prerequisite for abstract thought, poetry, religion, philosophy, and falling in love, has become a character flaw. In America we've managed to stamp it out almost completely, and few people under forty can remember a single moment of it, even in earliest childhood. The phrase 'spare time' has vanished from the land.” PeoplePhilosophyMomentsCharacterAmericaRememberFallLandChildhoodFalling In LovePhrasesAbstractFortyFlawsCivilizedSparesStampsIdlenessSingle MomPhilosophy Of ReligionPrerequisitesSpare TimeCharacter Flaws Book:Wasn't the Grass Greener?: A Curmudgeon's Fond Memories Source: Wasn't the Grass Greener?: A Curmudgeon's Fond Memories
“My falling in love with spoken word poetry definitely came out of that time period where all the adults around me were failing to supply me with any answers. Everyone was too busy dealing with things that were more important. I was pretty lost and invisible. And all of a sudden, this world opened up where I could get on stage and perform in front of my peers. People would listen to me and see me, and people would say, "That thing you created was important." And that was so validating and necessary at that specific moment.” PeopleWorldImportantMomentsFallLostAnswersFailingStageFrontsThis WorldPeriodsAdultsFalling In LoveBusyInvisiblePeersToo BusyListen To MeSpoken WordTime Periods Author:Sarah Kay
