"The right hand = the hand that is aggressive, the hand that masturbates. Therefore, to prefer the left hand! ... To romanticize it, to sentimentalize it!"
"Buster Keaton: Candide with a frontal lobotomy."
"Sensibility is humus for the intellect.
There's no syntax for sensibility -hence, it's ignored."
"A sense of the inevitability of a style -the sense that the artist had no alternatives, so wholly centered is he   in his style."
"The greatest art is secreted, not constructed."

-Susan Sontag

Today I got the second volume of Susan Sontag's journals, As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh, for which I've been waiting for a year. A sense of violation, the excitement of trespassing. But, most importantly, a process of alignment, a tuning of myself according to her. Periodically, we all get out of tune: from where to feel? Then I go back to her.
