“Nature, you know..I used to wish that I was able to enable you to be capable of giving and living a proper meaning to the lives that you are leading but uhm, for a different reason I’m as unstable and as disabled as you, incapable of feeling able to cope, unable to go on living like this, always thinking about drinking and thinking or thinking about drinking and toking about myself *hic*, thinking about *hic* how, never could I have ever, could I have known? I never thought that I could ever, have ever known, have ever known that I would ever, be thinking of sharing your company with someone other than myself, I love you, you are my better half, together we’re the dreamers, the overachievers, the believers, said the reasons? All of them constant treasons, the lies that we believe in are keeping us bleeding all this semen and sowing them seeds that we keep reaping, why not? When I come blood you bleed cum, we breed them demons.”

“

Through Wagner modernity speaks most intimately, concealing neither its good nor its evil—having forgotten all sense of shame. And conversely: one has almost completed an account of the value of what is modern once one has gained clarity about what is good and evil in Wagner.

I understand perfectly when a musician says today: “I hate Wagner, but I can no longer endure any other music.” But I’d also understand a philosopher who would declare: “Wagner sums up modernity. There is no way out, one must first become a Wagnerian.”

Wed, 15 May 2013 13:49:19 +0100

“Changing ourselves. Surely that must be what we’re after when we look at pictures and watch movies and listen to music. It sounds more Californian than it really is. Changing ourselves includes switching on the radio when we’re bored — to change from being someone who’s bored to someone who’s being less bored, or bored in a different way. But of course we would prefer to think that the art we venerate does more than feed us sensations to keep us from the gloom of everyday existence. (Why would I prefer that? What’s wrong with the opposite? I remember someone saying that all human creativity is a desperate attempt to occupy the brief space or endless gap between birth and death.) We would like to think that art remakes us in some way, deepens us, makes us ‘better’ people.”

Wed, 15 May 2013 13:24:52 +0100

“Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrews Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tail Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call”

- Brian Eno, daqui

“

Warwick:
There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the nature of the times deceased;
The which obeserved, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life, which in their seeds
And weak beginnings lie intreasured.
Such things become the hatch and brood of time;
And, by the necessary form of this,
King Richard might create a perfect guess,
That great Nothumberland, then false to him,
Would of that seed grow to a greater falseness;
Which should not find a ground to root upon,
Unless on you.

King Henry:
Are these things, then, necessities?
Then let us meet them like necessities; -
And that same word even now cries out on us:
They say the bishop and Northumberland
Are fifty thousand strong.

”

- King Henry The Forth Part II, Act III, Scene I, William Shakespeare

“

Já viram um homem em pêlo
Sair de repente da casa de banho
Escorrendo por todos os pêlos
Com o bigode cheio de pena
Já viram um homem muito feio
A comer esparguete
Garfo em punho e ar de bruto
Com molho de tomate no colete
Quando são bonitos são idiotas
Quando são velhos são horríveis
Quando são pequenos são maus
Já viram um homem gordo à beça
Extrair as pernas do ó-ó
Massajar a barriga e coçar as guedelhas
Olhando pensativo para os pés

Não se casem raparigas não se casem
Façam antes cinema
Fiquem virgens em casa do papá
Sejam serventes no carvoeiro
Criem macacos criem gatos
Levantem a pata na Ópera
Vendam caixas de chocolate
Professem ou não professem
Dancem em pêlo para os gagás
Sejam matadoras na avenida do Bois
Mas não se casem raparigas
Não se casem

Já viram um homem à rasca
Chegar tarde para o jantar
Com baton no colarinho
E tremeliques nas gâmbias
Já viram no cabaret
Um senhor não muito fresco
Roçar-se com insistência
Numa florzinha de inocência
Quando são burros aborrecem
Quando são fortes fazem sports
Quando são ricos guardam o milho
Quando são duros torturam
Já viram ao vosso braço pendurado
Um magricela de olhos de rato
Frisar os três pêlos do bigode
E empertigar-se com um ar de bode

Não se casem raparigas não se casem
Vistam os vossos vestidos de gala
Vão dançar ao Olímpia
Mudem de amante quatro vezes por mês
Peguem na massa e guardem-na
Escondam-na fresca debaixo do colchão
Aos cinquenta anos pode servir
Para sacar belos rapazes
Nada na cabeça tudo nos braços
Ah que bela vida será
Se não se casarem raparigas
Se não se casarem

”

- Boris Vian

“

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there’s a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that we’re all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey; I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I’ll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings… la la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin’ to find a woman who’s never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it’s not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

”

“I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing,
All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches,
Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green,
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself,
But I wonder’d how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone there without its friend near, for I knew I could not,
And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss,
And brought it away, and I have placed it in sight in my room,
It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends,
(For I believe lately I think of little else than of them,)
Yet it remains to me a curious token, it makes me think of manly love;
For all that, and though the live-oak glistens there in Louisiana solitary in a wide flat space,
Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near,
I know very well I could not.”

- Walt Whitman
