Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.
—Simone Weil (1909-1943; quoted at Orange Crate Art)
The first few minutes went by very slowly, and the rest flew. How is that? His Different Trains is one of the most powerful things I’ve heard.
By the way, Weil really did write that (in French). It’s sourced. 🙂
First going by very slowly, then flying—sounds like life.
