QotD
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. (A. Einstein)
O jazz é feito de notas azuis, um semitom abaixo da música mortal. À mistura com ritmos sincopados, chamada-e-resposta, swings, poli-ritmos e improvisações... Melodias e silêncios que se articulam ao sabor do humor da noite, acompanhados pelas vocalizações dissonantes do scat singing. Se o jazz fosse a minha vida, eu seria o sax tenor que ora nas fileiras de uma big band perdida nas quintas-feiras do Cotton Club.
7 Somethin' Else:
See, that's why I identify with Kerouac's quote. I never grew up to be 18, so i dont have any common sense nor i like using commonplace ideas...
Long live infancy!!!
bem visto mas o kerouac tb não é exemplo pra ng, assim como os outros beat, bons a escrever e chega, e crescer... é tão bom... as coisas ficam melhores naqueles aspectos... digamos... importantes?
Navel,
I never forgot what a friend of mine once told me: a philosopher is he who never ceases to be a child. He who never looses the ability to look at every morning as if it was the first one. He who never grows accustomed to the daily habits.
I honestly try to live by this belief. Sometimes I make it. :) And that makes me as happy as I am now in this sunny, sunny winter day. :D
Filipe,
O "On the Road", como disse à Navel no blogue dela, é um dos livros da minha vida.
Mas concordo com a perspectiva que um bom escritor apenas se constroi quando não se esgota nos livros. Aí está a razão pela qual nunca deixei de escrever e pela qual nunca vou deixar de viver desaforadamente. Sentir é a melhor coisa do mundo. E só sentimos quando crescemos. :)
It's funny how each one of us is a world in him/herself...
I do believe I'll stop feeling if I grow up...
Growing up for me means bitterness. But that's just me ;)
You know, I honestly believe that, as I grow, I'm able to feel in better ways. :) I'm actually even able to feel as a child sometimes. Does it make any sense?? :D
Maybe that's what I mean too...
I'm just afraid that "feel in better" means soothing things, and I always associate adulthood with "rational" behaviour.
You know how moments of raw happiness feel? That's what I want. Moments like that. Happines is a dog, remember?
:)
I think I feel things with more intensity now, and I have learned to enjoy them better. I've taken some things in a smoothed and inert way before and that's not my meaning of growing up.
I know exactly what you mean with "moments of raw happiness"! Those are the only ones I remember, the ones I try hard to build every day, and the ones I hope I can feel on my death bed.
Guess we kind of agree on the subject, we're just expressing it in different ways ;)
