Eve

“The opportunity for the fun you seek is always here, and here,
and here. And for me, today is not the day that it is, today is
in fact a brand new day, a day that has truly never before
existed.”
― Nathanael Koah, Birds on a Carousel

“Art cannot be fixed to a single location because lived experience is not left behind in the room where the object rests unseen at night after the museum has closed its doors. The art object travels in many bodies in multiple forms and it speaks and writes and sings in many languages.It is a living thing.”
― Siri Hustvedt, Mothers, Fathers, and Others: Essays

“Seeing my friends smiling and laughing, I was grateful to be back in the mortal world. There were multiple candles nailed upside down to the ceiling, and my comrades were standing on chairs, lighting them. Then all the lights in the room were turned off, and we lay back as the candlewax began to drip from the ceiling, the ever-flowing waterfalls of little balls of fire lighting up an infinite blackness.

We watched the fire fall from the great beyond, comforted by the fiery comet trails, talking until daylight.”
― Flea, Acid for the Children

“I wonder if we had better not find some way to let our children know this, some way to extricate our expectations from theirs, some way to let them work through their own rejections and sullen rebellions and interludes with golf pros, unassisted by anxious prompting from the wings. Finding one's role at seventeen is problem enough, without being handed somebody else's script.”
― Joan Didion, Let Me Tell You What I Mean
