Michelle Violy Harper's musings on all things unique and obstusely or acutely hideously gorgeous.

Art that may offend. Food that may resemble art. Scents that stink of divinity. The really unreal. And of course the much beloved "Fashion Fail"

Because nothing inspiring is flawless or perfect. It's in the failures, the experiments, and the unique that I find the greatest joy.

This is my dream space. Enjoy.

“Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.”

Khalil Gibran

“What and how much had I lost by trying to do only what was expected of me instead of what I myself had wished to do?”

Ralph Ellison

“The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to win.”

“I don’t know a better cure for the surfeit of shadows than a direct knowledge of the human life.”

“Because I am the height of what I see and not the size of my own height.”

Caerio

“There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.”

Madeleine Albright

By the way I do believe the meaning extends beyond women … straight & gay men count too … enjoy your special place kiddies :) Wish you the best but let’s face it - everything in life has a price.

“I LIKE DOING ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T TRY,
YOU WON’T GO ANYWHERE.”

ALBER ELBAZ

“‎”Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”

… quote from : Joan Didion …

OBSERVE, SEEK TRUTH, AND BY ALL MEANS LEARN…

BUT MOVE FORWARD OR FOREVER BE TRAPPED IN SUFFERING BY YOUR EGO.

JUDGEMENT For those who spend much time in judgement of others - look in the mirror: “We are all hypocrites. We cannot see ourselves or judge ourselves the way we see and judge others.” - J.E. Pacheco   And when you do look in the mirror - remember this: “It strikes me there is something greater than judgement. I think it is called mercy.”   - S. Barry

JUDGEMENT

For those who spend much time in judgement of others - look in the mirror:

“We are all hypocrites. We cannot see ourselves or judge ourselves the way we see and judge others.” - J.E. Pacheco

 - S. Barry

“Differentiated indifference is the formal secret behind the masses and its culture, which organizes a total middle. Therefore, its jargon can be nothing other than a glib individualism. When we swear that everything we do to be different really means nothing, we allow ourselves to do whatever we want.”

Peter Sloterdijk

on individualism & the masses

in “Veractung der Massen”

FAILURE x DIFFICULTY Winston Churchill failed 6th grade. He was defeated in every election for public office until he became Prime Minister at the age of 62. He later wrote, “Never give in, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never, never, never, give up.”
