About

This is a collection of things that inspire me. It's a tiny window into my thought bubble and all the things that collect up there. I post anything and everything that interests me. The majority of my posts are reblogs and generally state the source. I like messages, so ask away!

Words to live by

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to." -Jim Jarmusch

"Think about the title. I first saw it—Bottle Rocket—and I thought, what kind of fuckin’ title is this? And then I got it. It made sense. It was beautiful, man, just beautiful, like poetry. What’s a bottle rocket? It’s a firecracker that only goes so far. A bottle rocket ain’t a stick of dynamite that’s gonna blow everything to kingdom come and get a lot of attention, see what I’m saying? A bottle rocket is just a little fuckin’ thing, right? You light it, and whoosh—it goes up maybe to the second or third floor, then it burns out and falls. It doesn’t go up to the 17th floor or the 29th floor. But that’s OK. See what I’m saying? Because that’s what a bottle rocket is built to do. These guys, see, Anthony and Dignan and Bob, they’re bottle rockets. They go a certain distance, then they stop. And that’s OK, because they’re happy."

James Caan (aka Mr Henry) on the meaning of Bottle Rocket

SO THAT’S WHAT IT MEANS.

Helicopter assault - "Ride of the Valkyries" - "Apocalypse Now" (1979)

Some of the best lines in any movie, ever: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning…” + “Charlie don’t surf.”

I had to watch this film for Film Studies class at university. Still a masterpiece.
