Bored over the summer, I've decided to start blogging.
Super basic about me: I'm going to be a senior at Carnegie Mellon. I'm studying Scenic Design for Theater. I love architecture, mid-century (modern) design, fresh fruit, lollipops, apple computers, close up and stage magic, ketchup packets, and the color turquoise.
I'm going to start off easy. Here's a collection of some of my favorite quotes:
"Sometimes I feel so sick at the state of the world I can't even finish my second apple pie" -Banksy
"Don't fight it son! Confess quickly, or you'll jeopardize your credit rating." -Brazil
"The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little."
--Ray Bradbury
"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers."
--Thomas Pynchon
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
--Mark Twain
"God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."
--Voltaire
"If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you."
--Oscar Wilde
"Well I know that if you think life's a vending machine where you put in virtue and you get out happiness, then you're probably going to be disappointed."
--Six Feet Under
"Oh God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small"
--Breton Fisherman's Prayer
"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."
--Mel Brooks
"What is man if the signs that predate him have such power? A human race has to invent sacrifices equal to the natural cataclysmic order that surrounds it."
--Jean Baudrillard
I promise I'll contribute thoughts of my own, too!
