Diane Arbus :: Clouds on Screen at a Drive-in Movie Theater, New Jersey, 1960 / more [+] by this photographer

what I really like about Pratchett's work among all the other things, is that he basically opens all his books with exposure and "here is an immuable, very eternal law upon which the world is built" and then he spends the rest of the book trampling on that law

"it is impossible for a woman to be a wizard, so we're going to follow this wizard girl's journey"

"dragons are gone forever and dormant, here be no dragons. say hi to this one lady dragon tho"

"nobody can resist elves. that's why Magrat is going to deck their queen in the face"

"everyone knows women can't fight"

"everyone knows golems don't have souls. they all have names and personalities and-"

"all dwarves are men. then they were introduced to gender"

"Death is eternal and unchanging. Let's see what happens when he goes through all major human development stages in reverse starting with his retirement"

All in all "here's this thing everyone knows is true, here's why it's bullshit, here's how untrue it is, and here's how nobody is going to learn a lesson from being shown that this law of nature is bullshit. We all know people never learn right. or do they"

And he mostly wrote those openings last of all. He'd write the book to find out what it was about and then wrote the openings when he was done with the first draft.

I want my solitude, my peace, the beauty of my house; I want to find my lightness & my joy again. Introspection does not need to be a still life. It can be an active alchemy.

Hello darkness, Dimitra Dede

Paris, May 1968

Slogans and graffiti in the streets:

The more you consume, the less you live. Commodities are the opium of the people.

Abolish copyrights: sound structures belong to everyone.

L'ennui est contre-révolutionnaire. (Boredom is counter-revolutionary.)

L'imagination prend le pouvoir! (Imagination takes power!)

Soyez réalistes, demandez l'impossible. (Be realistic, ask the impossible.)[11]

Prenez vos désirs pour la réalité. (Take your desires for reality.)

On achète ton bonheur. Vole-le. (They are buying your happiness. Steal it.)

Le patron a besoin de toi, tu n'as pas besoin de lui. (The boss needs you, you don’t need him.)

L'été sera chaud! (Summer will be hot!)

On ne revendiquera rien, on ne demandera rien. On prendra, on occupera. (We will beg for nothing. We will ask for nothing. We will take, we will occupy.)

In a society that has abolished every kind of adventure the only adventure that remains is to abolish the society.

Sous les pavés, la plage. (Under the paving stones, the beach.)

Vivre sans temps mort et jouir sans entrave. (Live without wasted time and enjoy without hindrance.)

Warning: ambitious careerists may now be disguised as “progressives.”

I love you!!! Oh, say it with paving stones!!![12]
