»I am younger each year at the first snow. When I see it, suddenly, in the air, all little and white and moving; then I am in love again and very young and I believe everything.«

Waiting

[magictransistor]

‘Thy heart by one sole impulse is possess’d; Unconscious of the other still remain! Two souls, alas! are lodg’d within my breast, Which struggle there for undivided reign: One to the world, with obstinate desire, And closely-cleaving organs, still adheres; Above the mist, the other doth aspire, With sacred vehemence, to purer spheres. Oh, are there spirits in the air, Who float ’twixt heaven and earth dominion wielding, Stoop hither from your golden atmosphere, Lead me to scenes, new life and fuller yielding! A magic mantle did I but possess, Abroad to waft me as on viewless wings, I’d prize it far beyond the costliest dress, Nor would I change it for the robe of kings.’

Goethe [Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy]; ca. 1806.

I was a dentist, not a website. I was a muddle, not a brand. I was a man, not a profile. They wanted to contain my life with a summary of its purchases and preferences, prescription medications, and predictable behaviors. That was not a man. That was an animal in a cage.

Postmodernity is said to be a culture of fragmentary sensations, eclectic nostalgia, disposable simulacra, and promiscuous superficiality, in which the traditionally valued qualities of depth, coherence, meaning, originality, and authenticity are evacuated or dissolved amid the random swirl of empty signals.

Jean Baudrillard (via crinaprida)

John Cage liked me personally, but sometimes we would have conversations in which he would shake his head and say, “Philip, too many notes, too many notes, too many notes.”
