Quotes by Blas Falconer (?)

“I'm looking to present the imagination of the literal in a more personal sense: how the mind and heart in good time acquire such matters as experience, information, knowledge, wisdom, gravity, guilt, fear, anger, loss, longing, and so on down the litany-acquire and attach these invisible things to visible things in order to make metaphor. Make from, as I've often said, not up.”

“The complexity of this type of seeing often accurately duplicates how we see the world anyway-this simply highlights it somewhat. How often have you realized that the dark day you have just lived through, or the "monsters" you saw today as you rode the bus to work, were there precisely because you had had a monstrous night at home and now viewed the world through that lens?”
