You can not go back. That's why it's hard to choose. You have to make the right choice. As long, as you don't choose, everything remains possible. ↗

The body's a funny thing. It's so full of surprises that it makes conventional wisdom seem silly. ↗

Perfect by nature, icons of self indulgence. Just what we need more lies about our world. ↗

#nature

Naturally, for a person who finds his identity in something other than his full organism is less than half a man. He is cut off from complete participation in nature. Instead of being a body, he 'has' a body. Instead of living and loving he 'has' instincts for survival and copulation. ↗

Besides this I place another equally obvious confirmation of my view that opera is based on the same principles as our Alexandrian culture. Opera is the birth of the theoretical man, the critical layman, not of the artist: one of the most surprising facts in the history of all the arts. It was the demand of throughly unmusical hearers that before everything else the words must be understood, so that according to them a rebirth of music is to be expected only when some mode of singing has been discovered in which textword lords it over counterpoint like master over servant: For the words, it is argued, are as much nobler than the accompanying harmonic system as the soul is nobler than the body. ↗

my problem is that my body acts before my brain thinks... it sometimes brings me huge trouble, or also huge success. recently, my body and brain got come to an agreement. it may be far better to live this gambling life than living in boring average ...they at least make my art more interesting ↗

I loved being in my own head so much, it was getting harder and harder being with other people. ↗

You're making it sound like it's more dangerous to have a slightly weird family, than a totally weird family. ↗
