"When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies. Punks. Gangsters. Now you’re a hacktivist. Which I would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin’ down MasterCard. But there’s no look to that lifestyle! Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I’m mad about that. If your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just shut down the government, it seems to me he should at least have an outfit for that."

"Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say “infinitely” when you mean “very”; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite."

— Schrijflessen van Narnia’s CS Lewis in een brief naar een fan. De centrale boodschap: gebruik je taal subtiel, beschrijf de emoties niet maar roep ze op en wees helder en concreet. (via timdegier)

"Desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, to get your own back on the grown-ups who snubbed you in childhood, etc., etc. It is humbug to pretend this is not a motive, and a strong one. Writers share this characteristic with scientists, artists, politicians, lawyers, soldiers, successful businessmen — in short, with the whole top crust of humanity. The great mass of human beings are not acutely selfish. After the age of about thirty they almost abandon the sense of being individuals at all — and live chiefly for others, or are simply smothered under drudgery. But there is also the minority of gifted, willful people who are determined to live their own lives to the end, and writers belong in this class. Serious writers, I should say, are on the whole more vain and self-centered than journalists, though less interested in money."

"…where is the line between promoting the good work of others and simply lifting it? Naughty aggregation is analogous to pornography: You know it when you see it."

P.S. This is my 500th post, and I expect to be reaching 100,000 followers this week (!), so in honor of these milestones I would like to thank everyone for following this blog and for sending me daily messages (often written in ALL CAPS) saying how much you love it. This is a mass thank you/you’re welcome to you all, as well as to the people who submit many of the images featured. Glad you enjoy! Now feel free to delete this distracting block of text as you reblog the awesome image above.
