It may take two people to make a really beautiful mistake

hey, look at what i’m doing instead of reading for protestant reformation!

and now i bring you ee cummings quotes, because i feel my ramblings last night were filled with more than enough original thoughts to do you a few turns.

Art is a mystery.

In so far as every child and woman and man may be immeasurable, art is the mystery of every man and woman and child. In so far as a human being is an artist, skies and mountains and oceans and thunderbolts and butterflies are immeasurable; and art is every mystery of nature.
Nothing measurable can be alive; nothing which is not alive can be art; nothing which cannot be art is true: and everything untrue doesn’t matter a very good God damn…

on forever’s very now we stand.

(exists no miracle mightier than this: to feel)

we sans love equals mob

unbeing dead isn’t beingalive

and finally, a tom petty quote completely unrelated but applicable to life at the moment…

“you have four years to be irresponsible here. relax. work is for people with jobs. you’ll never remember class time, but you’ll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. so, stay out late. go out on a tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due wednesday. spend money you don’t have. drink ’til sunrise. the work never ends, but college does…”
