A photo of a passage from ON KNOWING: ESSAYS FOR THE LEFT HAND by Jerome s. Bruner: In short, the conversion of impulse into the experience of art comes from the creation of a stream of metaphoric activity and the restraining of any direct striving for ends. In essence, the connecting of experience is given its first impetus by the simultaneous presence of several such streams of fringe asso-ciation. It is the formal artifice of the work of art itself, the genius of its economical imagery, that makes possible the final fusing of these inner experiences. The process we have described requires work from the beholder. Beholding an art object in a manner that may be called knowing is not a passive act. But when the beholder stops beholding, when there is too much involvement with the figures in a canvas, there is an end to the conversion of impulse, distance is lost, and in place of the experience of art there is either a daydream or merely action.
A screenshot from the tomodachi life subreddit, which reads: Ok, I may be overreacting, but am I wrong for not wanting my sister to date a grown man on my own island? She's 12 and changed her age to 19 to fall in love with Luigi, it's my island, so when he fell in love, I said it's his imagination, and she told me to KMS over this btw, I told her she can do whatever she wants on her own island, but it makes me super uncomfortable when it's on my own, she told me to end it over and over and over, and I'm not sure who's in the wrong here, me being uncomfortable with her trying to date an adult, or her telling me to end my life over a video game

a photo of a passage from NIGHT WATCH by Terry Pratchett When he moved, you saw movement; when he stopped, he wasn't there. Magic would have been suspected and, in an oblique way, the watcher would have been right. Ninety percent of most magic merely consists of knowing one extra fact.

A screenshot from the Wikipedia entry for Mambo No. 5, subcategory “Bob the Builder version”: Chart performance On 9 September 2001, the song debuted at number one on the UK singles chart,[105] becoming Bob the Builder's second number-one single on the listing after "Can We Fix It?".[105] In doing so, Bob became the first novelty act to top the UK chart with more than one single.[106] Following the 11 September attacks, the song was removed from the BBC Radio 2 playlist due to its lyrics about building construction, with the station's executive music producer Colin Martin describing the song as being "too frivolous in light of the news that was breaking".[107][108]
