My childhood was elegant homes, tree-lined streets, the milkman, building backyard forts, droning airplanes, blue skies, picket fences, green grass, cherry trees. Middle America as it’s supposed to be. But on the cherry tree, there’s this pitch oozing out – some black, some yellow – and millions of red ants crawling all over it. I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.

David Lynch, Auteur Drawn to the Dark and the Dreamlike, Dies at 78 With such hallucinogenic masterworks as 'Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive,' 'Twin Peaks' and 'The Elephant Man,' he often left more questions than answers.

"Lynchian" is a fully realized and instantly comprehensible adjective, as concrete a one-word summation of an artist's aesthetic and worldview as has ever been associated with any artist in any medium. Things will forever be Lynchian, but there was only one David Lynch. #RIP

BREAKING: David Lynch Has Thoughts on the Dark Side of Fifties Suburbia That 1950s small-town thing, it’s different, and to catch that mood is important. It’s dreamy, that’s what it is. The 50s mood isn’t completely positive, though, and I always knew there was stuff g…

Brilliantly put by Jeanette Winterson: ""And I began to realize that what we must not do is accept false choices, fake realities, imposed on us by other people. And for me, one of the things that books have done, literature's done, art has done is refuse those false choices, but rather...
