“Night Walker is really Václav Chochola’s symbol, his self-portrait standing in the night city. He put his camera on a tripod and left quite a long exposure and he stood near this street lamp. Eventually he went back and closed the shutter. The result was that his body was like a dream only.”

AMERICAN MEDIA STEREOTYPES 

“Beautiful 20-somethings don’t (always) have fabulous careers and live in top-floor NY penthouses. They don’t all drink fancy wine and go to high class restaurants.

They are unemployed or struggling just like everyone else; they go home to nondescript apartments and play xbox, and microwave leftover chinese. Just like everyone else.”




"I have in mind another human being who will understand me. I count on this. Not on perfect understanding, which is Cartesian, but on approximate understanding, which is Jewish. And on a meeting of sympathies, which is human."

— Saul Bellow (via troubled)

It’s a lie all adults tell themselves.

As kids, we looked to adults for guidance. They knew what was going on. They had it all under control and we thought that one day, we too would learn the secret to life.
