Metamorphosis

August 8, 2012 at

“There are those who receive as birthright an adequate or at least unquestioned sense of self and those who set out to reinvent themselves, for survival or for satisfaction, and travel far. Some people inherit values and practices as a house they inhabit; some of us have to burn down that house, find our own ground, build from scratch, even as a psychological metamorphosis.”

– Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost

Movies are made out of darkness as well as light; it is the surpassingly brief intervals of darkness between each luminous still image that make it possible to assemble the many images into one moving picture. Without that darkness, there would only be a blur… It is the terra incognita of film, the dark continent on every map.”-Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide To Getting Lost
