“Our inherited mode of thought today tells us that things produce movement. The more fundamental reality is just the opposite: particular things crystallize out of the right sort of movement.”

What matters is that you produce things that are true and will stand

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 14:08:30 -0500

What matters is that you produce things that are true and will stand:

What matters is that you want to see and make and do, on as grand a scale as you want, regardless of what the tiny voices of tiny people say. Do not be critics, you people, I beg you. I was a critic and I wish I could take it all back because it came from a smelly and ignorant place in me, and spoke with a voice that was all rage and envy. Do not dismiss a book until you have written one, and do not dismiss a movie until you have made one, and do not dismiss a person until you have met them. It is a fuckload of work to be open-minded and generous and understanding and forgiving and accepting, but Christ, that is what matters. What matters is saying yes.

“In the margins of the page… we become who we are… individuals just distinct enough from one another in our orientation toward “the truth” or “the good” to be difficult to control.”

Be lucky - it's an easy skill to learn

Be lucky - it's an easy skill to learn:

Lucky people try to introduce variety into their lives. For example, one person described how he thought of a colour before arriving at a party and then introduced himself to people wearing that colour. This kind of behaviour boosts the likelihood of chance opportunities by introducing variety.
