The Creative Process
+ The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear and pleasure; it’s a little like making love, the physical act of love.
+Francis Bacon

"I knew i was lost, and i was! And i’ve always have been. We are all lost, we are all chip cracked, but the most intelligent of us learn. In other words we are not masters of our fate, everything happens by chance, and it’s the very people who think they have everything in control and they are running everything who get into the most trouble."
Louise Brooks (via fuckyeahlouisebrooks)
"Eternity isn’t some later time. Eternity isn’t even a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now that all thinking in temporal time cuts off. And if you don’t get it here, you won’t get it anywhere …
the experience of eternity right here and now, in all things, whether thought of as good or evil, is the function of life.
This is it."
