Q as in Quilt



Did he say "Caesuras in monologue" as in a complete silent pause? YES. Oh, well then I disagree.

I discovered that for me at least it's the lack of inspiration that makes me scared. To run dry of creativity. Quotations do in a way invite the ideas you didn't have to a text you are creating. On the contrary, they also show that you care to read what everyone else is saying. Isn't interiorizing what others think equally important to interiorizing your own marvelous thoughts?

I find it interesting that you can't escape how you were raised. It is as if your skin was a quilt half done and you're meant to finish it during your life time. But that half you were born with can't be changed. So, you start of communicating through quotations of what you hear. Mamá, Papá, si y no.
One realizes that one has to be original at some point in your life. You have to feel important in any way. But then aren't you quoting does that have been original? Those that did make it to your ideal.

Originality is a cliche. It is original to say so.

So what is it that annoys "us" about quotations? Well perhaps we want to be able to finish our quilt without looking at the quilts others are knitting. Perhaps we expect to much of our quilt so it becomes an uncomfortable quilt. A quilt that itches and really who wants that?

That's why I say quotations are good. Feeding of others' knowledge is good, "what is knowledge if not something to share and take?" (I don't really know who said that first but I'm quoting him).
