While taking a ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ I had the pleasure of viewing various impressionistic paintings today. What would life be without the little (yet) fulfilling escapes from the daily grind?

What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’?

Charlie Chaplin’s speech from The Great Dictator is so incredibly moving - Probably one of the most inspirational speeches ever recorded in history. I think we all need to listen to it again, for we are all heading to a dark place where there might be no going back…
A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness, as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men

NYC Grand Central Terminal, 1929 — The light doesn’t stream in like this anymore because the buildings around the station are too tall.
What an utter shame.
