Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.

my eyes have seen you - the doors from the very best of the doors
I can see what you can’t.
I can see what you don’t want to see.
I try and try, but I can’t make you see.
When you look at me, you see what I can’t see.
Maybe we should close our eyes for good.
To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.
— Kurt Cobain (via onlinecounsellingcollege)
There is a terrible emptiness in me, an indifference that hurts.
