It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved f

Summary

This quote suggests that it is more valuable and authentic to be yourself, even if it means being disliked by others, rather than pretending to be someone you're not just to gain superficial affection. It encourages individuals to embrace their true identity and values, recognising that genuine love and acceptance will come from those who appreciate and embrace them for who they truly are. It prioritizes integrity and self-acceptance over the desire for approval from others.

I set out to show that there exists single creative activity

I set out to show that there exists single creative activity,which is displayed alike in the arts and in the sciences.It is wrong to think of science as a mechanical record of facts, and it is wrong to think of the arts as remote and private fancies.

You were with Margo Roth Spiegelman last night? At THREE A.M

You were with Margo Roth Spiegelman last night? At THREE A.M.? I nodded. Alone? I nodded. Oh my God, if you hooked up with her, you have to tell me every single thing that happened. You have to write me a term paper on the look and feel of Margo Roth Spiegelman's breasts. Thrity pages, minimum! I want you to do a photo-realistic pencil drawing. A sculpture would also be acceptable. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to write a sestina about Margo Roth Spiegelman's breasts? Your six words are: pink, round, firmness, succulent, supple, and pillowy. Personally, I think at least one of the words should be buhbuhbuhbuh.
