All good things are wild and free.

Most days I wish I’d never met you ‘cause then I could sleep at night. I didn’t have to walk around with the knowledge that there was someone like you out there. I didn’t have to watch you throw it all away.

Good Will Hunting. Dir. Gus Van San (via wnq-movies)

The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives. Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the politics of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These “leaders” sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These “leaders” are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders….

The artist Ivan Brunetti says he is always buying gadgets for the kitchen, but that he rarely uses them. “It’s partly because my wife and I both work—we’re exhausted at the end of the day—but mainly it’s because I am the one who dreams of a hot and elaborate meal.” 

Read more about Brunetti’s “Comfort Food,” the cover of our annual Food Issue, out this week.

… dissatisfaction with myself oppressed me, I felt sorry for my life, which was passing so quickly and uninterestingly, and I kept thinking how good it would be to tear this heart, which had grown so heavy, out of my breast.

Anton Chekhov, “The House with the Mezzanine” (via blacktout)

For some reason I remember and love all these little details, and I remember the whole day vividly, though nothing special happened.

Literature is the record we have of the conversation between those of us now alive on earth and everyone who’s come before and will come after, the cumulative repository of humanity’s knowledge, wonder, curiosity, passion, rage, grief and delight. It’s as useless as a spun-sugar snowflake and as practical as a Swiss Army knife.

Dana Stevens and Adam Kirsch discuss whether literature should be considered useful. (via millionsmillions)

When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?
