Quotes by Greg Gerke (?)

“Many Hollywood films don’t do too much except advertise envy. What is so admirable about them is how much art is missing, how much questioning is not there. Stunning it is, how what are celebrated as the best, most innovative films are essentially publicity for the corporate control of the masses. As art they are as distinct as sand from other sand.”

“The world in all its particularity churns on, and we live in modest houses often slightly off their foundations, cleaning out our past to reduce what weighs down our present—but not by too much, for otherwise we would lose some of the relations, the sustaining memory.”
― Greg Gerke, See What I See

“I continue reading—I am adding and addled by the ideas there, those bristling feelings enjambed in sentences and lines of verse—but is this just filler for what is truly desired.”
