Emotions

Posted by PJ under feelings, quote of the day

Random quote of the day:

“During the 60’s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don’t think they’ve ever remembered. I think that once you see emotions from a certain angle you can never think of them as real again.”

—Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

Scratching

Posted by PJ under feelings, irony, novels, quote of the day, writers, writing
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The novelist who refuses sentiment refuses the full spectrum of human behavior, and then he just dries up. Irony is always scratching your tired ass, whatever way you look at it, I would rather give full vent to all human loves and disappointments, and take a chance on being corny, than die a smartass.”

—Jim Harrison, Conversations With Jim Harrison, ed. Robert DeMott

Chance

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The first thing for a writer to learn is the art of transposing what he feels into what he wants to make others feel. The first few times he succeeds by chance. But then talent must take the place of chance. Hence there is an element of chance at the root of genius.”

—Albert Camus, Notebooks 1942-1952 (tr. Justin O’Brien)

As said by someone who calls it “Poitry”

Posted by PJ under art, feelings, poetry, quote of the day, writing
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Poetry, the arts, require feeling—on the part of the reader and observer, as well as the writer. Poetry is participatory, it requires, after feeling, response; and after response it demands movement, action.”
