Interpretation
This quote explores the idea of identity and purpose beyond mere physical forms.
In this thought-provoking quote, Frank Ocean challenges conventional views of both the brain and women, suggesting that they are more than just vessels for their respective functions. The comparison invites a deeper reflection on human existence, where the value of a person is determined by more than just their biological roles, highlighting the complexity of identity and emotional connection.
In practice
During a philosophy class discussing the essence of consciousness.
Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.
It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story, and all kinds of sonic goodness - sonic goodies.
I think we all change each other's paths. I don't know which law idea that is in physics, but I don't think any of us can live without affecting one another.
Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.
We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor - got her master's with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.
Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn into more of a maths problem. I guess everything in life is a math problem, but it can be more about an empirical route to getting the symmetry that you want, and this vibe, sonically.
The decline of violence is a fractal phenomenon. You can see it over millennia, over centuries, over decades and over years.
It is not all of life to live, nor yet all of death to die. For life and death are one, and only those who will consider the experience as one may come to understand or comprehend what peace indeed means.
Freud was way off base in considering sex the fundamental motivation. The ruling passion in men is minding each other's business.
... reality stands before them, yet they don't see it, because what you call real is just the mirror image of your expectations.
Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless; it does positive harm. Something of 'the image of Christ' must be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings.
Don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world? Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life, and it'd lose even its imperfection.
