Because I have been feeling like a stone lately (if stones feel at all), let me just share some things that made me less stony. haha.

This is from my LitCrit reading by Victor Shlovsky (which I'm reading now to prepare for tomorrow's midterms. LOL):

"'If the whole complex lives of many people go on unconsciously, then such lives are as if they had never been.' And art exists that one may recover the sensation of life, it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony. The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known."

And this one, I got from my Ad teacher. It was so beautiful that we used it for our report in aesthetics.

Watch it. It WILL make your heart melt.

So yes, back to work. ;)
