More From Alberto Giacometti

Taste governs every free - as opposed to rote - human response. nothing is more decisive. there is taste in people, visual taste, taste in emotion - and there is taste in acts, taste in morality. intelligence, as well, is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.
Ideas People Taste
The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. the man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. here camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. it makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. it is good for the digestion.

Public taste changes and the aesthetic of a culture changes over time, so the idea isn't to appeal to the aesthetic of the moment and what people will like right now; the idea is to somehow keep yourself in the public memory so that as taste evolves it will eventually come to embrace your thing. so, it's about writing to be remembered rather than writing to be liked.
Memories Writing Ideas
One hundred and fifty years ago the vacant lands of the west were opened to private use. one hundred years ago the congress passed the homestead act, probably the single greatest stimulus to national development ever enacted. under the impetus of that act and other laws, more than 1.1 billion acres of the original public main have been transferred to private and non-federal public ownership. the 768 million acres remaining in federal ownership are a valuable national asset.
Years Law Land
We are living in a state of constant scientific revolution. there is not a single area that you can name that is now seen as it was seen a hundred years ago. nothing is left of the world view of one hundred years ago.

Israel is a fulfilled dream. nothing that exists here existed here a hundred years ago. "the state of the jews" was not a title of a country. it was a title of a futuristic novel. a little more than a hundred years ago, "tel aviv" was not a city. it was a title of another novel written by the same author. the "return to zion" was a name of another novel. there was a bookshelf. there was no state. there was no nation. all you can see, if you look through the window - everything you see is a fulfillment of dreams, different dreams.

You think i have more than most people dream of? what other people dream of doesn't matter. i always had less than i ever dreamt of. all i ever dreamt of was family. a father and a mother. most people don't even need to dream of such luxuries, they take them for granted. that is what i used to dwell on, alone in my bedroom. i dwelt as all children do, on the injustice. injustice is the most terrible thing in the world, oliver. everything that is evil springs from it and only a cheap soul can abide it without anger.
