“True learning only occurs when you love the subject you are studying and then the acquiring of knowledge is effortless because it is also a pleasure.”

The Princess Bride is such a funny book to read after ONLY seeing the movie. Like Goldman made up a fake author from a fake country and proceeded to write the book as an abridged version of what the fake author wrote... and then he proceeds to add in notes to the "abridged version" mentioning all the boring world building stuff he skipped because it was boring.

Like shout out to William Goldman, man really did make an entire book that is just "the cool scenes you thought of in your head" and then made up a fake author to abridge so he doesn't have to connect them.

And it slaps

tbh the real advice I’d give to anyone is, do shit alone. go to a museum & go at your own pace & leave the instant you’re done. go somewhere you’ve never been and just wander around, duck into & out of places as it pleases you. linger as long as you’d like.

The Virgin of the Rocks (National Gallery Version)

Virgin of the Rocks, oil on panel (ca. 1483–1508) Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) painted two versions of this sacred cave meeting for a Milanese commission. He sold the Louvre panel (ca. 1483-1486) due to a payment dispute and later created the London version (ca. 1491-1508) to fulfill his contract.

While the first painting uses soft sfumato and realistic plants, the second includes sharper contrasts and stylized vegetation, reflecting Leonardo's evolving artistic and scientific interests later in his career. The London work also displays halos and a reed cross. Loc. Louvre, Paris. Dim. 199 cm H x 122 cm W (78 3/8 x 48 in.) Loc. National Gallery, London. Dim. 189.5 cm H x 120 cm W (74 5/8 x 47 1/4 in.)

Collecting books is great until you have to move all of them at once and realize that every one of the little bastards weighs about as much as a brick and collectively have the mass of a neutron star

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible
