More From Peter O'Toole

This rose became a bandanna, which became a house, which became infused with all passion, which became a hideaway, which became yes i would like to have dinner, which became hands, which became lands, shores, beaches, natives on the stones, staring and wild beasts in the trees, chasing the hats of lost hunters, and all this deserves a tone.
Beach Passion Hands
I went away and cried to the master of the universe, "what have you done to me? a mind like this i need for a son? a heart i need for a son, a soul i need for a son, compassion i want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that i want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"
Pain Heart Son
Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.
Sweet Morning Coffee
A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. he would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the devil of hell. you must make your choice. either this man was, and is, the son of god; or else a madman or something worse. you can shut him up for a fool; you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him lord and god. but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. he has not left that open to us.
Teacher Jesus Fall
Diogenes carried a bowl with him for years, but one day saw a man drinking from his cupped palm and declared, ‘i have been a fool, burdened all these years by the weight of a bowl when a perfectly good vessel lay at the end of my wrist.
Drinking Men Perfectly Good
My son is actually named after beck, the musician. we heard beck on the radio and thought that was a good nickname for a child. we named our son beckett so we could call him beck - we reverse engineered. and then after he was born and i saw the name on the birth certificate i realized beckett was a really pretentious name, way too literary. luckily he's grown into it. we nearly named my second son dashiell. can you imagine? beckett and dashiell. it would have been a disaster of pretentiousness.

Artists raise their kids differently. we communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. we have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. it's what we love. so i think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.
