Quote :: :: Pitchfork: Articles: You Were There: The Complete LCD Soundsystem

“I’ve put my life into it,” Murphy told The Wire in 2005. “I’m fully aware that it’s my life. I don’t have parents– they’re gone. I don’t get another life. I’m 34 years old and this is it. My entire youth is gone and dedicated to this, so I care enormously. I meet lots of people who don’t realize that this is their only life.”

dear william stanhope:
most important decision i ever made came at age 9…i was collecting BUCK ROGERS comic strips, 1929, when my 5th grade classmates made fun of me. I tore up the strips. A week later, broke into tears. Why was I crying? I wondered. Who die? Me, was the answer. I have torn up the future. What to do about it? Start collecting BUCK ROGERS again. Fall in love with the Future! I did just that. And after that never listened to one damnfool idiot classmate who doubted me! What did I learn? To be myself and never let others, prejudiced, interfer with my life. Kids, do the same. Be your own self. Love what YOU love.
Best wishes,
(Signed, ‘RAY B.’)

via BBC News – Vivian Maier: A lost life’s work seen for first time.

I keep on reading these words and thinking: “S/he was using xxxxx to fill in a void emotionally, perhaps to satisfy herself/himself” has that sad truth about it that is scary in way.
