A Life of Craven Merriment

@thejadedpsyche

Viewing the wonder and beauty of life through the eyes, ears, and lips of better people than I... "The consequence of this is that I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both." - Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

The Night Circus: Erin Morgenstern

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night, but behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway.

what she says: I’m fine

what she means: the collective misinterpretation of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita is a disturbing reminder of the relationship between the artist and the audience, who has the power to create meaning through interpretation, and how art with even the best intentions may end up being a complete reflection of the maladies of a given society

I always thought about theatre – I’m not sure about film, but certainly in the theatre – if I could press two buttons, first I’d have my lines going across the back of the auditorium, with electric lights – that would calm me down. The other one is all actors should have a t-shirt, whatever the costume, that just says on it, “Believe it or not, I’m doing my best.”
