“Within a culture, there is a standard of taste that isn’t explicit, like the law, but is based on experience (comprising practice and comparison), especially experience of the right kind of person. Hume appeals to a true judge that would be able to perfectly assess the beauty of an object because this person would possess strong sense, united to delicate sentiment, improved by practice, perfected by comparison, and cleared of all prejudice.”

For Bense, language is largely determined by “ego relation” and “world aspect”: Speech emanates from a person—no matter what she says, she is always speaking herself. At the same time, in her speech, she always refers to the world. Poetic consciousness, then, puts “being into signs,” that is, the world into text, and ultimately guarantees that one is related to the other.2 Without this consciousness, Bense holds, the signs and the relationship between them would be meaningless.

always interesting to see the artists you were messing with since a teenager and get grammy like a decade later, watching them grow reminds me im growing too, n we may get a grammy too

Pharrell – Spend more time doing

"Believe in your direction and do it. Spend less time talking about it and more time trying to perfect it, and put it out there. If that’s fire, the kids will sniff it out, they always do."

Pharrell – On redefining failure

“Failure to me is less about that word and the undeserved aw that we put on it, and I kind of repurpose it as a lesson. The issue is; you fail a bunch of times and you’r just a failure, but if you didn’t learn a lesson a bunch of times, then you’re someone that just enjoys losing.”
