when faced with impossible challenges, the only thing to do is get as strong as you possible can, and then throw yourself at it, fighting. Do what you can, and if it hurts you, take just enough time to recover, and then go back to getting stronger.

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.
Brian Eno (via jessiethatcher)

You are your deepest driving desire, as is your desire so is your will, as is your will, so are your deeds, as are your deeds so is your destiny
Upanishads
The outcome of my days is always the same: an infinite desire for what one never gets, a void one cannot fill, an utter yearning to produce in all ways, to battle against time that drags us along, and the distractions that throw a veil over our soul.
Delacroix, 1858 (via violentwavesofemotion)
I am feeling like this
The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet.
Nikos Kazantzakis (via hellanne)
Yep, that too
Seduction is fatal. It’s the effect of a sovereign object that recreates in you the original confusion and seeks to suprise you. Fatality, in turn, is seductive, like the discovery of a hidden rule. The discovery of a hidden rule is dazzling and compensates in advance for the cruelest loseses.
