I came on the old and best ways of writing through ignorance and experiment and was startled when truths leaped out of brushes like quail before gunshot. ↗

The verb 'to darn' is explained in my pocket dictionary as follows: 'To mend by imitating the texture of the stuff, with thread and needle.' But this definition does not correspond to the work accomplished by good Chinese housewives. When they mend a sock, they do not try 'to imitate the texture of the stuff'. Their art makes no attempt at concealment: it even takes a certain pride in revealing itself. ↗

Art does not have to be dull, to be effective; the artist does not have to be a bore, to be real. ↗

Cuando se nos enseñó a mirar con atención rincones y trozos insignificantes de la ciudad con el ojo fotográfico -una caja de fósforos junto a la rueda de un coche, un pedazo de puerta al sol, una pierna que sube la escalera-, comprendimos que nuestros ojos están ciegos.No nos sirven nada mas que como lazarillos para cruzar las calles, no tropezar con otros y ganarnos la vida. ↗

The power of beauty Lies within our soul And how we choose To see everything It is not found from The strokes of a make-up brush Nor the acceptance from others ↗

God has allowed some magical reversal to occur, so that you see the scorpion pit as an object of desire, and all the beautiful expanse around it as dangerous and swarming with snakes. ↗
