We don't want to go to a movie and sit in a lecture.
It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.
Feelings come to us, passively; love comes from us, actively, by our free choice.
Recollection is not something that I can summon up, it simply comes and I am the servant of it.
You get into an elevator and there's music playing. You hear it, but you're not into it. That is passive.
Love was action. It came to you. It was not a choice.
I always looked askance at Pandora and Spotify, regarding both as a passive means of experiencing music; they feed you music they presume you will like, and eventually you like it.
We must not inquire too curiously into the absolute value of literature. Enough that it amuses and exercises us. At least it leaves us where we were. It names things, but does not add things.

A painting has a lot of advantages over other forms of communication. Unlike a movie, you don't have to put it into a machine and turn it on. It's just there every day. It's not limited by the element of time. It's a constant part of the home.
