December 2016 Theme Day - Transitions

Remedios Varo Exhibition (Spanish-Mexican Surrealist Painter)

“One day the last portrait of Rembrandt and the last bar of Mozart will have ceased to be — though possibly a colored canvas and a sheet of notes will remain — because the last eye and the last ear accessible to their message will have gone.”

― Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West

Alexander Pushkin Park Library

“If I were reading a book and happened to strike a wonderful passage I would close the book then and there and go for a walk. I hated the thought of coming to the end of a good book. I would tease it along, delay the inevitable as long as possible, but always, when I hit a great passage, I would stop reading immediately. Out I would go, rain, hail, snow or ice, and chew the cud.”

― Henry Miller, Plexus
