Every work of art (unless it is a psuedo-intellectualist work, a work already comprised in some ideology that it merely illustrates, as with brecht) is outside ideology, is not reducible to ideology. ideology circumscribes without penetrating it. the absence of ideology in a work does not mean an absence of ideas; on the contrary it fertilizes them.
Art Mean Ideas
Seasons may change winter to spring, but i love you until the end of time come what may, come what may, i will love you until my dying day suddenly the world seems such a perfect place suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace suddenly my life doesn’t seem such a waste, it all revolves around you. and there’s no mountain too high no river too wide sing out this song and i’ll be there by your side storm clouds may gather and stars may collide but i love you until the end of time

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. he is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. finish every day and be done with it. you have done what you could. some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. this new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

Today it is difficult to find leaders who are independent of the forces that have brought us our problems: the congress, the bureaucracy, the lobbyists, big business, and big labor.

Faced with such insecurity, labor unions seek a solution in demands for higher wages, shorter hours, pensions, and such things. but this approach takes monopolistic capitalism for granted, and accepts the unnatural division between property and responsibility as permanent. a much more radical solution is apt to come, and this may take either of two forms.
Wisdom Responsibility Two
You never know what's actually going on in a person's life. you don't know what happened to them before you met them...and that's why they are the way they are. but i do think about it whenever i get in contact with my fans. i know this may be the only time they'll ever meet me. i try to take advantage of that moment and be kind and grateful.
