my inspiration in life has always been Calvin as Stupendo man. It says, if you really are inspired by something, if you really want to be something, just fucking be it. All of us do it as a child,but somewhere along the way we lose it. we get scared of appearing silly, of being judged, of failure. StupendoMan reminds me not to. ↗
Don't be amazed if you see my eyes always wandering. In fact, this is my way of reading, and it is only in this way that reading proves fruitful to me. If a book truly interests me, I cannot follow it for more than a few lines before my mind, having seized on a thought that the text suggests to it, or a feeling, or a question, or an image, goes off on a tangent and springs from thought to thought, from image to image, in an itinerary of reasonings and fantasies that I feel the need to pursue to the end, moving away from the book until I have lost sight of it. The stimulus of reading is indispensable to me, and of meaty reading, even if, of every book, I manage to read no more than a few pages. But those few pages already enclose for me whole universes, which I can never exhaust. ↗
