Light Ballet Wire

More From Albert Finney

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

This could be a whole life," she thought. "you work eight hours a day covering wires to earn money to buy food and to pay for a place to sleep so that you can keep living to come back to cover more wires. some people are born and kept living just to come to this.

But i have a problem with the term 'light'. i never in my life knew what to do with that. i know that people have mentioned on some occasions that 'richter is all about light', and that 'the paintings have a special light', and i never knew what they were talking about. i was never interested in light. light is there and you turn it on or you turn it off, with sun or without sun. i don't know what the 'problematic of light' is. i take it as a metaphor for a different quality, which is similarly difficult to describe. good.

Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the reformation.

One young woman's tribute describes unwrapping her cadaver's hands and being brought up short by the realization that the nails were painted pink. "the pictures in the anatomy atlas did not show nail polish", she wrote. "did you choose the color? did you think that i would see it? i wanted to tell you about the inside of your hands. i want you to know you are always there when i see patients. when i palpate an abdomen, yours are the organs i imagine. when i listen to a heart, i recall holding your heart.
Heart Thinking Hands
Even when we're with someone we love, we're foolish enough to think of her body and soul as being separate. to stand before the person we love is not the same as loving her true self, for we are only apt to regard her physical beauty as the indispensable mode of her existence. when time and space intervene, it is possible to be deceived by both, but on the other hand, it is equally possible to draw twice as close to her real self.
Real Love Is Thinking
I never thought of myself as an outsider. because outside of what? you would have to give advantage to this space where you're not, to think of it as sovereign because you're not there. i was always in the center of where i needed to be.
