― Anaïs Nin, The diary of Anaïs Nin

ngl some of these posts sound shortsighted so i’m pulling out the Marjane Satrapi quote:

"You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you."

In your life, you’ll meet a lot of assholes. If someone hurts you, tell yourself it’s due to their lack of intelligence. That way, you’ll never sink down to their level, because there’s nothing worse in this world than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself.

Henri Cartier-Bresson, New York City, USA, 1947

A cette minute, des milliers de chats se feront écraser sur les routes,

A cette minute, un médecin alcoolique jurera au dessus du corps d'une jeune fille, et il dira “elle ne va pas me claquer entre les doigts, la garce”,

A cette minute, cinq vieilles dans un jardin public entameront la question de savoir s'il est moins vingt ou moins cinq,

A cette minute, des milliers et des milliers de gens penseront que la vie est horrible et ils pleureront,

A cette minute, deux policiers entreront dans une ambulance et ils jetteront dans la rivière un jeune homme blessé à la tête,

A cette minute, une vieille dame, ivre morte, gémira, seule, au dernier étage, sous son lit, et ne pourra plus bouger,

A cette minute, un espagnol sera bien content d'avoir trouvé du travail

Il fait froid dans le monde…

over the mountain pass into the mojave, you are immediately greeted by hunuvat chiy'a or joshua trees. a stark contrast between the oak foothills just a few miles back! that's the power of rain shadows

The lean days of determination. That was the word for it, determination: Arturo Bandini in front of his typewriter two full days in succession, determined to succeed; but it didn't work, the longest siege of hard and fast determination in his life, and not one line done, only two words written over and over across the page, up and down, the same words: palm tree, palm tree, palm tree, a battle to the death between the palm tree and me, and the palm tree won: see it out there swaying in the blue air, creaking sweetly in the blue air. The palm tree won after two fighting days, and I crawled out of the window and sat at the foot of the tree. Time passed, a moment or two, and I slept, little brown ants carousing in the hair on my legs.
