aug 5 2013 + [Fall, 1951] To me Acapulco is the detoxicating cure for all the evils of the city: ambition, vanity, quest for success in money, the continuous contagious presence of power-driven, obsessed individuals who want to become known, to be in the limelight, noticed, as if life among millions gave you a desperate illness, a need of rising above the crowd, being noticed, existing individually, singled out from a mass of ants and sheep. It has something to do with the presence of millions of anonymous faces, anonymous people, and the desperate ways of achieving distinction. Here, all this is nonsense. You exist by your smile and your presence. You exist for your joys and your relaxations. You exist in nature. You are part of the glittering sea, and part of the luscious, well-nourished plants, you are wedded to the sun, you are immersed in timelessness, only the present ... oct 20 2012 ∞
oct 20 2012 + I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) ------------------------------------------ The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. ------------------------------------------- I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.) -------------------------------------------- God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan's men: oct 10 2012 ∞

Il faut chercher avec le cœur." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- “Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies .” ----------------------------------------------------------------------- “You're beautiful, but you're empty... One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose , all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the o...__Since she's my rose__ .” oct 10 2012 ∞
aug 5 2013 + No te amo como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego: te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras, secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma. -------------------------------------------- Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva dentro de si, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores, y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo el apretado aroma que ascendis de la tierra. --------------------------------------------------- Te amo sin saber como, ni cuando, ni de donde, te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo: oct 10 2012 ∞
oct 10 2012 + Dorothy Shaw: I like a beautiful hunk of a man... Ain't anyone here for love? oct 10 2012 ∞
oct 10 2012 + "A clear horizon — nothing to worry about on your plate, only things that are creative and not destructive… I think hatred is wasted energy, and it’s all non-productive. I’m very sensitive — a sharp word...haunts me for days. I know we’re only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead, and now you’re going to create something — I think that’s as happy as I’ll ever want to be.” oct 10 2012 ∞
oct 10 2012 + Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures! oct 10 2012 ∞

jan 12 2013 + “Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming question… Oh, do not ask, “What is it?” Let us go and make our visit..." -- The Love Song of Alfred J Prufrock oct 10 2012 ∞
oct 10 2012 + O Me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish; Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d; Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me; Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined; The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists, and identity; That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse. oct 10 2012 ∞

oct 10 2012 + Margo Channing: So many people know me. I wish I did. I wish someone would tell me about me. Karen Richards: You're Margo, just Margo. Margo Channing: And what is that, besides something spelled out in light bulbs, I mean - besides something called a temperament, which consists mostly of swooping about on a broomstick and screaming at the top of my voice? Infants behave the way I do, you know. They carry on and misbehave - they'd get drunk if they knew how - when they can't have what they want, when they feel unwanted or insecure or unloved. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lloyd Richards: There are very few moments in life as good as this. Let's remember it: To each of us and all of us, never have we been more close, may we never be farther apart. oct 8 2012 ∞
oct 10 2012 + I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don't give a damn whether the client understands that that's worth any-thing, or whether it is worth anything. It's worth it to me. It's the way I want to love my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares. oct 8 2012 ∞
