More From Susan Sontag

When i was a boy, i dreamt that i could fly, he announces. when i woke, i couldn't... or so the maester said. but what if he lied? what do you mean? perhaps we can fly. all of us. how will we ever know unless we leap from some tall tower? no man ever truly knows what he can do unless he dares to leap. there is the window. leap. what do you want? the world.

Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.
Education Giving Up Taken
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, and deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, i'm at home and at ease on a track that i know not, and restless and lost on a road that i know.

To gain your heart's desire you have to lose some part of your old life, your old self. to do that you have to have courage; without it, you can't make the leap. and if you don't make the leap you have only three choices: you can hate yourself for not taking the chance, you can hate the person from whom you've sacrificed your happiness, or you can hate the one who offered you happiness, and blame them for your lack of courage, convince yourself it wasn't real.
Hate Real Heart
The digestive canal is in its task a complete chemical factory. the raw material passes through a long series of institutions in which it is subjected to certain mechanical and, mainly, chemical processing, and then, through innumerable side-streets, it is brought into the depot of the body. aside from this basic series of institutions, along which the raw material moves, there is a series of lateral chemical manufactories, which prepare certain reagents for the appropriate processing of the raw material.

Music, to me, is the most beautiful form, and i love film because film is very related to music. it moves by you in its own rhythm. it's not like reading a book or looking at a painting. it gives you its own time frame, like music, so they are very connected for me. but music to me is the biggest inspiration. when i get depressed, or anything, i go "think of all the music i haven't even heard yet!" so, it's the one thing. imagine the world without music. man, just hand me a gun, will you?
Beautiful Reading Moving
When i work there are two distinct phases: the phase of pushing the work along, getting something to happen, where all the input comes from me, and phase two, where things start to combine in a way that wasn't expected or predicted by what i supplied. once phase two begins everything is okay, because then the work starts to dictate its own terms. it starts to get an identity which demands certain future moves. but during the first phase you often find that you come to a full stop.
