i would tell the last surviving dinosaur right before the asteroid hits that one day in the future his species’ remains will be honored in some of the highest intellectual institutions on earth and little kids all around the globe will love him very much and draw pictures of him and parents will decorate their children’s rooms with him and people will work very hard all their lives just to learn as much as they can about him
“The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines. When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. We’re drawn in — or out — and the windows of our perception are cleansed, as William Blake said. The same thing can happen when we’re around young children or adults who have unlearned those habits of shutting the world out.”
