beaker of acid in the face


"The truly great artists are entirely themselves. They've got their own vision. They have their own way of fracturing reality. And if it's authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings."
- David Foster Wallace [1962-2008] referring to his experience watching David Lynch's Blue Velvet for the first time in 1986. The entire interview here.

An earlier reference on this blog to Wallace here.
