More From Paula Fox

No, there's fifteen francs somewhere, which nobody gives a damn about anymore and which nobody is going to get in the end anyhow, but the fifteen francs is like the primal cause of things and rather than listen to one's own voice, rather than walk out on the primal cause, one surrenders to the situation, one goes on butchering and butchering and the more cowardly one feels the more heroically does he behave, until a day when the bottom drops out and suddenly all the guns are silenced and the stretcher-bearers pick up the maimed and bleeding heroes and pin medals on their chest.
Hero Gun Voice
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

Canvases between 8 centimetres and 1 metre are priced around 25,000 francs. in the past i used to sell them from between 50 to 100 francs at the most. i have to say... that i feel somewhat embarrassed at this admission.
Past Selling Used
Imbecile!" the chef shouted. "next time why don't you just put your whole hand in the food, hey? yes, your whole hand, or maybe your face! i arrange the food on plates with care, are you understanding what i am telling you? it is part of the art form of cooking, yes? a lovely plate of food is a thing of beauty! and then you, numbskull, come along and put your fat greasy fingers all over my plate, and shake the plate, and move my food all around the plate until it looks like pigs' vomit!" "chef vlad!" i cried out in delight.

In utero is a testament to the artistic vision of kurt cobain. it's kind of a weird record, and it's strangely beautiful at the same time. and if you look at kurt's paintings and his drawings - he even did a sculpture for me - it's a rising, tortured-spirit person. it's kind of weird. it's done well, but it's like what dave was saying about having your own sound. kurt was a great songwriter. he knew he had a good ear for a hook [and was] a great singer, great guitar player, and in utero is a good representation of what he liked in art and how he expressed himself.
