“Poet, forger of ideals, dreamer among the possibilities of life, prophet of the millenium, do you get impatient with the prosaic life around you -- the dulness, and the earthliness, and the brutishness of men? Fret not. Go forward into the realm which stretches before you; climb the highest mountain you can reach, and plant a cross there. The nations will come up to it some day. Work for immortality if you will; then wait for it. If your own age fail to recognize you, a coming age will not.” IfsMenAgeNationsWaitingFailingPossibilityPoetMountainHighestIdealsCrossesPlantCome UpImmortalityRealmsProphetClimbsDreamerImpatient Author:J.

“What I'm nostalgic for is the idea of an edge in New York. There used to be these fringes of the city where civilization sort of ended, and therefore young people could live cheaply, or open nightclubs or art galleries, or even squat. That fringe moved out to New Jersey and Brooklyn. The whole idea of the metropolis is the centralization of like-minded souls, and when the central real estate becomes too expensive, the dreamers, the young poets, and the artists will go elsewhere.” PeopleArtRealSoulArtistPoetMovedDreamerElsewhereFringeNostalgicSquatMetropolis Author:Jay McInerney
