Art is real

Art is real. I make it real by putting it into words

Narrative accounts

There's a good case for arguing that any narrative account is a form of fiction. The moment you start to arrange the world in words, you alter its nature. The words themselves begin to suggest patterns and connections that seemed at the time to be absent from the events the words describe.

English Language

The English language is not a square with definite sides containing its area; it is a circle, but a circle such as Euclid never contemplated, having its centre a point which hath many parts, and nowhere bounded by any line called a circumference. It is a spot of colour on a damp surface, which shades away imperceptibly into the surrounding colourlessness; it is an illuminated area in a midnight landscape, whose beams practically end somewhere, though no eye hath beheld the vanishing line.

-James Murray

Evolution of language

To enchain syllables and to lash the wind are equally undertakings of pride

-Samuel Johnson
