Short Circuits
Alain De Botton
There are people we’d long ago have forgotten about if they hadn't started to ignore us.
An epidemic of loneliness is created by the misguided idea that the only cure to loneliness is a romantic relationships.
We don't fall in love with those who will make happy so much as with those who feel familiar.
Joy Harjo
There’s a lullabye. Made to calm the ruler of sharp things.
Remembering and imagination enter and leave from the same area of the soul.
We cannot escape memory; but curry it in us like a huge organ with lungs sucking air for survival. It is an organ like the skin, covering everything, but from the inside.
Don Paterson
A style is a strategy of evasions.
Hell is an enforced solitude, heaven a voluntary one.
I love the way we all suddenly stop traducing our enemy when we hear they have a cancer or have suffered a stroke. If only we could always keep in the front of our minds that we are all dying.
A poem is a little machine for remembering itself.
Beware the obsessive between obsessions: if his brain doesn't eat itself, it will eat yours.
The worst thing about thinking nothing of yourself is that you assume that your behavior has no consequence. This makes you much more dangerous than the egomaniac, who at lest spends all his time calculating for his own effect.
Charles Bernstein
Abolishing reason will never free thought.
Even a liar sometimes must tell the truth.
All texts are orphans.
Seldom is grief misplaced.
Every journey takes a turn.
Truth is in pieces.
Perception is the finest trick of the mind.
The truth remains to be seen.
Ignorance is learned.
There is a safety in numbers until your number is up.
H. L. HIX
To secure beauty and truth, practice insecurity.
I thought I knew. I should have known better.
An ocean separates art from life, but still there shorelines match.
Like language, a culture lives by, or dies for lack of, translation.
They also swerve who don't command much freight.
To invent a vocabulary adequate to the unspeakable.
The inner world and the outer. Only what inhabits neither can see both.
The nothing that is not aware, and the nothing that is.
Extension of who I listen to enlarges what I hear.
Eric Jarosinksi
#HOW TO FIND HAPPINESS
Think of where you last saw it.
See if its still there.
If its not, ask yourself why it left.
If it is, ask yourself why didn't you stay.
#KEEP IT SIMPLE
Only two problems with the world today.
The world.
And 2. Today.
Three, if you count tomorrow.
#THE FINE PRINT
Someday we will read the terms.
We will read the conditions.
We will wonder why we ever agreed to them.
And check yes.
#MIXED RECEPTIONS
The good news:
Technology has brought us closer together.
The bad news:
Please see above.
#GLOATINGSIGNIFIERS
The poets remember it.
A time when words meant something.
Something important.
For which there are no words.
George Murray
Yes may grow from maybe, but maybe seldom grows from no.
Those who have least are most qualified.
You don't own privacy, you share it.
You need only to change your shoes to change your point of view.
Over break I read a lot of the Short Circuits book, now that I have new material I really wanna start focusing on the language. This book was a really nice thing to have because now I have short, long and broken ones to explore. My favorite quotes so far are the ones from Eric Jarosinksi. For Thursday I'll have books exploring the language of some of these quotes.

Thesis Tweet
My senior thesis will be exploring fact vs fiction vs conspiracy theories, including why these things scares and confuses people. The subjects will be society and events. I will display this in posters using print and collage material while exploring hand drawing vs digital.
