More From Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The seed of god is in us. if the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to god whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of god. now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of god into god.

Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. as opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. this all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.

What i'm realizing as i get older is that a movie's mainstream success is just as unpredictable as a movie's cult success. plenty of movies that are truly odd and deserve cults, don't have cults. it's just as much of a crapshoot to be a cult hit as it is to be a mainstream success. isn't that weird?

People Important Realizing
The 'how' has a great effect on what we see. to say that 'what we see' is more important than 'how we see it' is to think that 'how' has been settled and fixed. when you realize this is not the case, you realize that 'how' often affects 'what' we see.
