Summary

This quote suggests that our perception and interpretation of things are subjective and can influence our understanding of reality. It emphasizes the idea that our perspective shapes our perception of the world, rather than it being an objective truth. In other words, the way we perceive and interpret situations, events, or objects is not based on their inherent nature, but rather on our own individual perspective, biases, and personal experiences. This quote reminds us that our perception can be altered or influenced, and encourages us to consider multiple perspectives to gain a fuller understanding of the world around us.

Iconic clothing has been secularized. A guardsman in a dress

Iconic clothing has been secularized. A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative color and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.

I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said, 'Oh, you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote, but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So, these things take their time to dribble down the food chain.
