On Halloween, this guy glued a carpet to his skateboard and “floated” down the halls of his school as Aladin.

Some things are too fantastic for words.

When I first saw this picture, I thought it was a spine x-ray.

I have lots of spine x-rays, not because it’s some weirdo-maccabre hobby. But because I have a pretty severe form of scoliosis that needs to be monitored. I’ve seen lots of pictures of my bones and they look as gauzy and strange as bones are wont to look.

But I’ve never looked at an x-ray of my spine and thought it looked like stars. But maybe I will from now on.

Here’s to the starry, the fearfully, the wonderfully.

This is one of the most haunting photos I have ever seen. It is hundreds of wedding rings that were removed from those in Concentration Camps.

I haven’t seen a single post on my dash about it being the remembrance day of the Holocaust today so I guess it’s up to me

This is sobering.

I’m fairly certain that seeing this image, at an early age, was the instigator for my lifelong obsession with London.

“You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.”

““Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.””

“I think your books always tell a story about you … They’re a way to touch on ideas and thoughts that aren’t your own but are essential to you. A lot of people would put books on shelves they hadn’t read or were by someone who had touched their lives.”
