Life is a process which may be abstracted from other media.
Commerce changes the fate and genius of nations.
Ah, tell them they are men!
Beyond the limits of a vulgar fate, Beneath the good how far,-but far above the great.
The still small voice of gratitude.
E'en from the tomb the voice of nature cries, E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires.
Bright-eyed Fancy, hov'ring o'er, Scatters from her pictured urn Thoughts that breathe and words that burn.
People always seem to see echoes of their own lives in my films.
A good mixtape didn't just gather together a bunch of love songs, but instead created an emotional narrative specific to your affection. The stories in most of my favorite collections are collected more like songs on a mixtape than, say, collected like spare change. By which I mean they are in conversation with each other and work to become larger than their parts.
In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
The difficulty is to learn to perceive with your whole body, not with just your eyes and reason. The world becomes a stream of tremendously rapid, unique events. So you must trim your body to make it a good receptor. The body is an awareness; and it must be treated impeccably.
