Say I’m an airplane
And the gashes I got from my heartbreak
Make the slots and the flaps upon my wing
And I use them to give me a lift
Hip hip for the lift
Hip hip for the drag
I want them all in my bag
Oh give me anything and I’ll turn it into a giftFiona Apple - Daredevil -
Sherwood Anderson on Art and Life: A Letter of Advice to His Teenage Son, 1927
In relation to painting. Don’t be carried off your feet by anything because it is modern — the latest thing. Go to the Louvre often and spend a good deal of time before the Rembrandts, the Delacroixs. Learn to draw. Try to make your hand so unconsciously adept that it will put down what you feel without your having to think of your hands. Then you can think of the thing before you. Draw things that have some meaning to you. An apple, what does it mean? The object drawn doesn’t matter so much. It’s what you feel about it, what it means to you. A masterpiece could be made of a dish of turnips. Draw, draw, hundreds of drawings. Try to remain humble. Smartness kills everything. The object of art is not to make salable pictures. It is to save yourself. Any cleanness I have in my own life is due to my feeling for words. The fools who write articles about me think that one morning I suddenly decided to write and began to produce masterpieces. There is no special trick about writing or painting either. I wrote constantly for 15 years before I produced anything with any solidity to it. […] The thing of course, is to make yourself alive. Most people remain all of their lives in a stupor. The point of being an artist is that you may live. […] You won’t arrive. It is an endless search. I write as though you were a man. Well, you must know my heart is set on you. It isn’t your success I want. There is a possibility of your having a decent attitude toward people and work. That alone may make a man of you.

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours. It is an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
