A brilliant idea is like a baby in a mothers womb. You need to bring it out in the world, nurture it, feed it, grow it, till it becomes big enough to take care of itself. If you leave it at the stage of an idea itself, it is as good as non existent. ↗

I know it doesn't feel this way all the time, but we get to choose what we care about and what we spend our resources on. We choose what - or ideally whom - to lust after. We choose what to watch, what to like, what to build, how to spend the breaths that we've been alive. And the fact that many of our choices are unconscious - get that handbag, get that Starbucks, look at that Snooki - does not in any way make us less responsible for those choices. I'm happiest when I feel like I'm part of a community that helps me choose more intelligently and with greater empathy. And I, for one, like the choices we made this weekend. ↗

Can you feel the wind/Of Venus on your skin? Can you taste the crush/Of a sunset's dying blush? Stars will always hang/In summer's bleeding vein Seas forever boil/Trees will turn to soil Can you feel the rings/Of Saturn on your fingers? Can you taste the ghosts/Who shed their creaking hosts? Seas forever boil/Trees will turn to soil Stars will always hang/In summer's bleeding vein ↗

I'm just having a wonderful time. It's an interesting thing that I'm very comfortable with this material and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I did MacBeth. ↗

You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself. ↗

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that. ↗

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. ↗

I have been watching and drawing the surface of Mars. It is wonderfully full of detail. There is certainly no question about there being mountains and large greatly elevated plateaus. ↗
