Beyond the picket fences and the oil wells, the happy endings, and the fairy tales, is the reality of shattered lives and broken dreams. We carry on.

Reality Bites (1994)

“Most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? They have a life to live, and they’re not really that concerned with Allen Ginsberg’s poems, or anybody’s poems. Until… their father dies, they go to a funeral, you lose a child, somebody breaks your heart, they don’t love you anymore. And all of a sudden you’re desperate for making sense out of this life, and has anybody ever felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud? Or the inverse, something great: you meet somebody and your heart explodes! You love them so much you can’t even see straight, you know, you’re dizzy. Did anybody feel like this before? What is happening to me? And that’s when art’s not a luxury, it’s actually sustenance. We need it.”

This part of Ethan Hawke’s Ted Talk has lingered with me for three years now, I think about it every time I watch something that moves me, or I’m searching for something to help me through a difficult moment. That feeling of needing sustenance for your soul is so real. I’ve never heard that feeling articulated so well before, or since (and it coming from Todd Anderson makes it much more special to me, obviously <3)
