Random quote of the day:
“This world and all our powers in it are far more awful and beautiful than even we know until some accident reminds us. If you wish to perceive that limitless felicity, limit yourself if only for a moment. If you wish to realise how fearfully and wonderfully God’s image is made, stand on one leg. If you want to realise the splendid vision of all visible things—wink the other eye.”
—G. K. Chesterton, Tremendous Trifles

Random quote of the day:
“Stare. It’s the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.”

Random quote of the day:
“Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

Random quote of the day:
“There are people who criticize my work…and say it is not realistic. But I feel that merely copying the outward appearance of the world would not result in anything real—that is only copying. I think that to find what is real one must look very closely at one’s world, to search for those things that contribute to this reality which one feels under the surface. These are few and one uses them to create. These are the core around which the world moves, the axis on which it turns….To be an artist means to search for, find, and look at these things; to be an artist means never to avert one’s eyes.”
—Akira Kurosawa, quoted in The Films of Akira Kurosawa by Donald Richie

kmkibble75 and I were...But no, maybe I'll put this behind a cut. Some people don't like reading about indecorous behavior, and I do have a reputation as a really classy broad to protect. ;-)
