Status Updates From Only a Promise of Happiness...

باز یه کتاب سخت شروع کردم که به سختی ازش چیزی میفهمم. هر دو صفحه یه نیم خط میفهمم.
اعصابم خورد میشه در این مواقع.

A very imaginative and substantial account of what art is. It gives up on the broad but ultimately too permissive and uninformative view of Dickie and Danto that anything goes as art, as long as the professional community accepts it as such. Exciting and inspiring!

...serious difference between describing a face as attractive and actually being attracted by it. Beauty mobilizes the emotions and it always looks to the future: these detached ratings do not.

Reviewers have a very ordinary counterpart in the rest of life: friends who want me to get acquainted with someone they believe I will appreciate.
...If everything turns out as all of us have hoped and, once we've met, I find you and your company enjoyable, then, far from resting on that verdict I shall want to get to know you better.

no account of why something is beautiful can ever be enough to prove that others should agree.

The real opposition is not between the works of art one admires and those one detests, but between those that stand out enough to be noticed at all and those that just pass by.
