  • I dream dark dreams. I dream of a figure moving through the forest, of children flying from his path, of young women crying at his coming.

I dream of Caleb, who does not exist, and I am afraid.

    Running   Dream   Pain  
    John Connolly (2015). “Dark Hollow: A Charlie Parker Thriller”, p.3, Simon and Schuster

I nudge him again, a little harder, and he laughs and tries to catch hold of my arm. I squirm away, giggling, and he stretches out to tickle my stomach. "Country bumpkin!"

Everything dissolves: heat, explosions of color, floating.

  • There's little to see, but things leave an impression. It's a matter of time and repetition. As something old wears thin or out, something new wears in. The handle on the pump, the crank on the churn, the dipper floating in the bucket, the latch on the screen, the door on the privy, the fender on the stove, the knees of the pants and the seat of the chair, the handle of the brush and the lid to the pot exist in time but outside taste; they wear in more than they wear out. It can't be helped. It's neither good nor bad. It's the nature of life.

    Wright Morris, James Alinder (1982). “Photographs & words”, Friends of Photography Bookstore
  • There are some films that arrive here from the international festival circuit almost incandescent with self-importance. They hover into the cinema in a kind of floating trance at how challenging and moving they are. They are films with a profound reluctance to get over themselves. They look up at the sceptical observer with the saucer-eyed saintliness of a baby seal in culling season, or a charity mugger smilingly wishing a nice day on the retreating back of a passer-by. One such is Babel.

    Change   Summer   Fashion
