“Vimes had never got on with any game much more complex than darts. Chess in particular had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the kings lounged about doing nothing that always got to him; if only the pawns united, maybe talked the rooks round, the whole board could’ve been a republic in a dozen moves.”

— Terry Pratchett, Thud!

think that everyone has their own personal theme in life

[notesbyash]

every nolan film is about time. it winds its way through his filmography; it is fractured in memento, distorted in inception, expanded in interstellar, reversed in tenet.

every hopper painting is about stillness. it is found in every brushstroke; at dusk in automat, at dawn in morning sun, at noon in office in a small city, at night in nighthawks.

i have a friend who orbits ideas of power, another who delights in the prosaic and the plain. one weaves around systems and structures, another returns always to wonder at the sea.

there are other elements of course - our lives cannot be measured by single concepts no matter how large they may be - but time and again i think we return to the things that fascinate, the things that intrigue, the things we cannot quite tear ourselves away from. the themes of our lives.

banan na ścianie jest całkowicie pasywny i nie robi nic, a jednak wygrywa. pluje mi w twarz, a jednak wygrywa. nie wkłada w sztukę żadnego wysiłku, a jednak wygrywa. istnieje bo istnieje, a ma nad nami wszystkimi nieskończoną przewagę. jest ostateczny. jest bogiem, a ten, który go stworzył - diabłem. zabicie go jest moim obowiązkiem jako człowieka. ale nie mogę, bo on jest bogiem, a ja jestem człowiekiem. nienawidzę go. zawsze wygra, ale dopóki będę walczyć, nie przegram. 🙂‍↔️
