Sloane Crosley Quotes About Eyes

• Porque, niños de diez años del mundo, no deberíais creeros lo que os dicen vuestros profesores sobre vuestra belleza, singularidad y unicidad. O créetelo, copito de nieve, pero que sepas que no servirá de nada hasta después de la pubertad. Es la ley perdida de Newton: cualquier cosa que te haga único más tarde hará que te roben la leche con chocolate y te ennegrezcan el ojo de niño. ¿Verdad, Sebastian? Oh, sí, así será, mi pequeño amigo que aprende chino mandarín, recita poemas y usa zapatillas altas. Dios te bendiga, dondequiera que estés.

• I thought of a high school report I did on the Belgian artist Rene Magritte and a quote I once read from him, something about his favorite walk being the one he took around his own bedroom. He said that he never understood the need for people to travel because all the poetry and perspective you're ever going to get you already posses. Anais Nin had the same idea. We see the world as we are. So if it's the same brain we bring with us every time we open our eyes, what's the difference if we're looking at an island cove or a pocket watch?

• Every day of my adult life, I have worn at least one piece of jewelry from my maternal grandmother's collection, all of which were manufactured by famed Danish silversmith Georg Jensen. To the naked eye, I am either a Jensen loyalist or a grandmother loyalist. Really I am just a Pretty Things loyalist.
