Status Updates From The Strange Necessity

“Here is a distinguishing definition of Art that I like more than others:
Un monde vous frappe dans la poitrine et abolit tout ce qui n’est pas lui-Georgette Leblanc
(A world strikes you in the heart and leaves you unconscious of everything except it).”

“So I shall continue to love life on earth and all its ancient rituals.
I love shadowed rooms and wood fires, tall libraries full of subtle and leisurely books, accomplished conversational that flow for hours. I love essential people; their minds, their faculties, their bearing awe me. I also love people who have grace and flair, lightness of touch, and touching awarenesses”

Little Review credo

TO EXPRESS THE EMOTIONS OF LIFE IS TO LIVE.
TO EXPRESS THE LIFE OF EMOTIONS IS TO MAKE ART.
-written by Jane Heap

“I am tired of the “new writing” and of the “powerful new novelists”. I am tired of today’s new people; I am tired of their lives, of their tastes, their reading, their languages, their singing, their sedatives and psychiatrists, their houses, their furniture, and their faces.
All this being so, I have written about what I most love. And I love more things than I loathe”.
-Margaret Anderson

“I love yesterday, I deplore today, and I am hopeful of tomorrow because it can’t be so bad as today” -Margaret Anderson “The Little Review” credo
