What's in yesterday's newspaper is today's fish-and-chip paper. if it really affects my life so badly, so personally, then i would do something about it. when it's really out of order, or something possibly detrimental to my family, or i'm driven to such a level that i know that this can be picked up and repeated again, i will just write or e-mail the newspaper editor. so, in the next day's newspaper, it might say, "tracey emin says this is factually incorrect."

More From Tracey Emin

One fish. two fish. red fish. blue fish. black fish. blue fish. old fish. new fish. this one has a little star. this one has a little car. say! what a lot of fish there are.
Stars Blue Fishing
So, eventually, he made one final arrangement with himself, which he has religiously held to ever since, and that was to count each fish that he caught as ten, and to assume ten to begin with. for example, if he did not catch any fish at all, then he said he had caught ten fish - you could never catch less than ten fish by his system; that was the foundation of it. then, if by any chance he really did catch one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty, three forty, and so on.
Sea Fishing Two
At the time, liberals didn't understand that they had first amendment rights. so, i was doing cartoons in this narrative cartoon form about subject surrounding that and as i was turned down by editor after editor at each publishing house, i began to notice on their desks this new newspaper called the village voice, which i then went and picked up and thought, well my god, these editors that were turning me down all, whom tell me how much they like my stuff, but they don't know how to market it because nobody knows who i am. if i got into this paper, they would know who i am.
House Cartoon First Amendment
To live is to be someone else. feeling is impossible if we feel today as we felt yesterday: to feel today the same thing we felt yesterday is not to feel at all--it's merely to remember today what we felt yesterday, since today we are the living cadaver of yesterday's lost life.
Yesterday Feelings Today
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
Funny Humor Cutting
I still go to a party and say something embarrassing to someone, and then write them a weird e-mail about it the next day, and then write them a text because i think they didn't get the e-mail. no matter what happens with your level of success, you still have to deal with all the baggage that is yourself.

Similar Quotes
There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. on the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. on the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the roman empire. in our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.
Party Hands Decay
In a way, the world-view of the party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. they could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. by lack of understanding they remained sane. they simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.
Party Reality Views
Scientists are rarely to be counted among the fun people. awkward at parties, shy with strangers, deficient in irony - they have had no choice but to turn their attention to the close study of everyday objects.
Fun Party Science
The iraqi baath socialist party was modelled in large part on admiration for european national socialist and fascist movements, hoped to emulate them especially in their nationalism against the west. but mutated by saddam hussein it became also one that very, very much admired, and grew a special moustache in admiration of the work of yosif vissarionovitch dzugashvili, the great georgian known to us historically as stalin. so you had him in modern iraq, a regime in our own time, that was openly, directly modelled upon the two most extreme examples of european totalitarianism.
