More From Thomas A. Edison

Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.
Art Mean Reflection
It is very hard to enroll people in anything. and there is a very big difference between the words motivate and inspire. motivation means we have an idea and we are going to carry through on that idea. we work hard at it, and we are disciplined. a highly motivated person takes an idea, goes out there, and won't let anybody interfere with them. inspiration is exactly the opposite. if motivation is when you get hold of an idea and carry it through to its conclusion, inspiration is the reverse. an idea gets hold of you and carries you where you are intended to go.

Now, ideas are the raw material of progress. everything first takes shape in the form of an idea. but an idea itself is worth nothing. an idea, like a machine, must have power applied to it before it can accomplish anything. the men who have won fame and fortune through having an idea are those who devoted every ounce of their strength and every dollar they could muster to putting it into operation. ford had a big idea, but he had to sweat and suffer and sacrifice to make it work.

Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you
Sweet Dark Night
I stalk certain words... i catch them in mid-flight, as they buzz past, i trap them, clean them, peel them, i set myself in front of the dish, they have a crystalline texture to me, vibrant, ivory, vegetable, oily, like fruit, like algae, like agates, like olives... i stir them, i shake them, i drink them, i gulp them down, i mash them, i garnish them... i leave them in my poem like stalactites, like slivers of polished wood, like coals, like pickings from a shipwreck, gifts from the waves... everything exists in the word.
