There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.

I know that it is something to do with computers...

A somebody was once a nobody who wanted to and did.

Intensity.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

'Cause me say listen to the drum, a me say listen to the bass Give me little music, make me wind up me waist.

There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.

I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.

Like most things, Henry is a real; whizz when it comes to computer games. Despite the severe rationing system we have in place (think post-war Britain), the crankster is a pro at pretty much anything he's tackled up this point. His favourite? Tricky, one of Toy Story 3 or Kirby's Epic Yarn on the Wii...

Reason is the natural organ of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.

Here is something of an experimental photograph today. I saw this beat up old car pull up at the lights this morning, bumper held together by packing tape, and whipped out the camera, got down low for an interesting angle, and took one snap, then it was gone. As a model of the flawless photograph, I concede that it is somewhat lacking, but I like it’s potential as a ‘beginning’, ‘middle’ or indeed ‘end’ of a far more thrilling story. So, the thing I like about this image is how it seems to me an invitation to the viewer to 'fill in the gaps' of its deficits rather than an attempt to tell a complete story. So I look at in think: ‘how did we get to this point?’ Is that too wanky? If so, I’m blaming a severe lack of sleep, the lethargy that follows days of being angry about things beyond your immediate control, and far too much thinking about the work of David Lynch than is conducive to good mental health.

The deepest depth of vulgarism is that of setting up money as the ark of the covenant

Yesterday evening was pregnastics again, so Henry and I entertained ourselves while Jen was out doing whatever it is that a roomful of heavily pregnant women do when corralled together.
