I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.

From How to Be Perfect by Ron Padgett
[ID text: "Hope for everything. Expect nothing. / Take care of things close to home first. Straighten up your room / before you save the world. Then save the world. / Know that the desire to be perfect is probably the veiled expression / of another desire--to be loved, perhaps, or not to die." end ID]
