Reading Born To Be Posthumous: The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Genius of Edward Gorey 📚
I finished reading [Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow] 📚(https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/690750/tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow-by-gabrielle-zevin/) by Gabrielle Zevin.
I’d say it lived up to the hype. Full of little aphorisms on life and art. Here are a few of my favorites:
- It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.
- The most successful people are also the most able to change their mindsets
- Sam on TV talk shows, quoting Marshall McLuhan, “The games of a people reveal a great deal about them.”
- Limitations are style if you make them so
- If you’re always aiming for perfection, you won’t make anything at all.
