Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days…Lightly, lightly—it’s the best advice ever given me. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.””<br/><br/> - <em>Aldous Huxley (via perfect)</em>http://happycollision.tumblr.com/post/50912337747http://happycollision.tumblr.com/post/50912337747Mon, 20 May 2013 16:51:14 +0100aldous huxleyquote<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e492e5c87fa5c11dcebb8a696b2c00e9/tumblr_mmirq1kwyF1r5mmhlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tumblropenarts.tumblr.com/post/50260943125/www-bryanwillis-tumblr-com" target="_blank">tumblropenarts</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.bryanwillis.tumblr.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.bryanwillis.tumblr.com" target="_blank">www.bryanwillis.tumblr.com</a></a></p> </blockquote>http://happycollision.tumblr.com/post/50423126559http://happycollision.tumblr.com/post/50423126559Tue, 14 May 2013 16:18:32 +0100artartists on tumblr<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a55fffc1020b25a66ff12f6793856602/tumblr_mm7eir3Sqs1qg2iulo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theantidote.tumblr.com/post/50021679111/imperfection-is-beauty-madness-is-genius-and" target="_blank">theantidote</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” ― Marilyn Monroe</span></p> <p>“I am not eccentric.

A poem works for me not when it says what I want it to say and not when it evokes what I want it to. It works when the subject I started out with metamorphoses alchemically into a different one, one that has been discovered, or uncovered, by the poem. It works when it surprises me, when it says something I have repressed or pretended not to know. The meaning and worth of my writing is measured by how much I put myself on the line and how much nakedness I achieve.”<br/><br/> - <em>Gloria Anzaldúa, ”Speaking in Tongues: A Letter to Third World Women Writers” (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://uber-alles.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">uber-alles</a>)</em>http://happycollision.tumblr.com/post/50112028917http://happycollision.tumblr.com/post/50112028917Fri, 10 May 2013 22:07:33 +0100Gloria Anzaldúawriting<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TH2OaaktJrw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>Terry Gross’s Moving Maurice Sendak Interview, Illustrated by Christoph Niemann</strong><em><br/></em></p> <blockquote> <p>It is a blessing to get old.
