“In feature films the director is God; in documentary films God is the director.” -Alfred Hitchcock
Stephen Dunn, Sixty (via arpeggia)
I’ve had it with all stingy-hearted sons of bitches.
A heart is to be spent.
Filling in the Gaps
“As our knowledge of the brain becomes more comprehensive it seems like the idea of the soul exists only in the gaps of our understanding”.
Thomas Carlyle (via larmoyante)
In idleness there is a perpetual despair.
John Cooper Clarke, on Salvador Dalí (via nevver)
But none of them realized as Dalí did that dreams are actually not indistinct and misty and floaty. They happen in the middle of the afternoon. Crystal clear. …And dreams don’t have a subtext. You don’t think in a dream. The most unusual stuff happens in the most unusal way. All in broad daylight with no shade.
It’s no secret that the world’s ocean trash problem is getting bad; looking at a handful of images from the Texas-sized Pacific garbage patch should be enough to convince anyone. As for all of our litter that doesn’t end up in the middle of the ocean? It often stays close to shore, where volunteers for Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup pick some of it up, cataloging all the items they find.
