More From Anais Nin

...no man of genuinely superior intelligence has ever been an actor. even supposing a young man of appreciable mental powers to be lured upon the stage, as philosophers are occasionally lured into bordellos, his mind would be inevitably and almost immediately destroyed by the gaudy nonsense issuing from his mouth every night.

She wondered: how could people respond to these images if images didn't secretly enjoy the same status as real things? not that images were so powerful, but that the world was so weak. it could be read, certainly, in its weakness, as on days when the sun baked fallen apples in orchards and the valley smelled like cider, and cold nights when jordan had driven chadds ford for dinner and the tires of her chevrolet had crunched on the gravel driveway; but the world was fungible only as images. nothing got inside the head without becoming pictures.

We’re face to face with images all the time in a way that we never have been before... young people need to understand that not all images are there to be consumed like fast food and then forgotten – we need to educate them to understand the difference between moving images that engage their humanity and their intelligence, and moving images that are just selling them something.
