Postmodernism was a reaction to modernism. Where modernism was about objectivity, postmodernism was about subjectivity. Where modernism sought a singular truth, postmodernism sought the multiplicity of truths. Miguel Syjuco modernismmultiplicityobjectivity share on social
It's very, very important to me, no matter who the person is, to play that person with the utmost degree of truth that I'm able to bring.

Can the mind see the truth of its own incapacity to know the unknown? Surely if I see very clearly that my mind cannot know the unknown, there is absolute quietness. Jiddu Krishnamurti absoluteincapacitymind Change image and share on social
The truth of why I used to listen to Arrested Development on my Walkman was because if I didn't, it would take me 20 minutes to walk to school. If I did, it took me 15. That's the reason I loved it. I just had more of a kick in my step, more of a bounce, so I'd walk quicker. James Corden arrestbouncedevelopment share on social
