Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Dr. Seuss (via kari-shma)

Another Sartorialist inspired sketch. I always enjoy his photographs, he has such amazing taste; and speaking of good taste, this quote appeared on my dashboard today (via 70% EtOH, a great artist in her own right)…
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” - Ira Glass

Everything’s gonna be fine. Stay optimistic. If there’s dark clouds coming up, they’ll leave again. They always do. The world is round. Everything’s round. The biggest invention of all times, the wheel is round. Things pass. Nothing will stay the same forever. No matter in how big a pile of shite you’ve gotten yourself - be it drugs, financial problems, fucked up relations: you’ll get over it. It’ll go away just like the weather. The sun is round, so is the planet we live on, marriage rings and our eyes through which we see the world. Noel Gallagher (via this interview, 2002) (via perolas) (via fuckyeahoasis)

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. Roald Dahl. (via -writingastupidlovelettertoyou)

When the Beatles were depressed, we had this thing that I would chant and they would answer. It was from a cheap movie they made about Liverpool years ago. And in it they say, “Where are we going, Johnny? or something, and the leader of the gang would say, “We’re going to burn this” or “We’re going to stomp on that.” Well, I would say to the others when we were depressed, thinking that the group was going nowhere, this is a shitty deal, we’re in a shitty dressing room-I would say, “Where are we going, fellows?” And they would go, “To the top, Johnny,” in pseudo-American voices. And I would say, “Where is that, fellows?” And they would say, “To the toppermost of the poppermost.” I would say, “Right!” And we would all cheer up. John Lennon (via jukeboxblues)
