Rosetta's uncompromising brilliance

Rosetta

Matt Weed, quoted in CVLT Nation interviews Rosetta by Tom

Freedom means different things to different people, obviously. I don’t think freedom includes being free from hardship. I think it means having individual sovereignty, having self-determination. Freedom includes living with the consequences of the choices you make. DIY is important to us not because it’s a kind of dogma or lifestyle, but because doing things yourself means being able to say NO to the way that rich, powerful, corporate forces want you to operate. It means being able to work in the way that you feel comfortable working, and embracing whatever comes as a result. It means choice, and it means responsibility.

MANNY: I'll tell you what you gonna do. You gonna get a job. That's what you gonna do, you're gonna get a little job, some job a convict can get, like scraping off trays in a cafeteria, or cleaning out toilets, and you're gonna hold onto that job like gold, because it is gold. Let me tell you Jack, that is gold, you listenin' to me? And when the man walks in at the end of the day, and he comes to see how you done, you ain't gonna look in his eyes, you gonna look at the floor because you don't want to see that fear in his eyes when you jump up and grab his face and slam him to the floor, and make him scream and cry for his life, so you look right at the floor Jack, pay attention to what I'm sayin' motherfucker. And then he's gonna look around the room, see how you done, and he's gonna say, oh you missed a little spot over there, jeez you didn't get this one here, what about this little bitty spot? And you're gonna suck all that pain inside you and you're gonna clean that spot, and you're gonna clean that spot until you get that shiny clean. And on Friday you pick up your paycheck, and if you could do that, if you could do that you could be president of Chase Manhattan, corporations, if you could do that. 

BUCK: Not me man, I wouldn't do that kind of shit. I'd rather be in fuckin' jail. 

MANNY: More's the pity, youngster. More's the pity.

Film quotes, #10: Sideways

[Demetria Estate]

Alexander Payne | Sideways

I like to think about the life of wine. How it's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, like your '61. And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline. And it tastes so fucking good.

I tried to come to you 
But nothing seems to shine 
Before you go and chance you out of our sight 
All on time 

I sighed but in the silence 
The absence echoes in rime 
We just plunge in everything we lied 
Paralysed

I don't know whats the meaning of time 
I think I might implode 
Coz you change every shape of my life 
I think I might explode

I inhale the distant light 
I exhale the hate of mine 
And I know I failed to change your mind 
So I'll say to you that.. 
I don't want you anymore

Indulge securely this apology

Where silence is salient

Where silence is still

Indulge this offering

Forgive my silence

Embrace the atonement

Embrace the silent

Embrace the outpour

Vacate the angst

Atone and sing

Confess and rest your sweetly wings

Sometimes I think that these stars

Are calling me back, calling me home

Please accept this small offering,

The dim light of gods

Come now and rest

Come rest well

Sometimes I think these stars

Are fireflies of home calling me

In the silence I'll atone, collapse, embrace

[Dark Lyrics]

A day in the life: Paul Klee, #3

Paul Klee

Excerpt from Struck from the List | WikiArt.org 

Klee was employed in many successful teaching positions throughout his life, but his stay at the Düsseldorf Academy in Nazi Germany was cut short. In 1933 he was singled out by a Nazi newspaper, which called him out as a Galician Jew. The Gestapo searched his house, and he was quickly fired from his job. Klee created Struck from the List to commemorate this terrible occasion.
