Insignificant Quotes

I try to write about small insignificant things. I try to find out if it’s possible to say anything about them. And I almost always do if I sit down and write about something. There is something in that thing that I can write about. It’s very much like a rehearsal. An exercise, in a way Picture Quote #1

People are doing their courting, people are finding their wives, people are making babies, people are washing their dishes, people are getting through the day, with songs that we may find insignificant.

That’s what dignifies the song. Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song Picture Quote #1
