“Lekythos Shaped as a Siren” Attica, First quarter of the 4th century BC, found at the Archaeological site of: Necropolis of Phanagoria [1513x1920]

The sorta literal translation from the arabic is so much more beautiful ::

“From here rose the first written letter, (finding its way) to every point on earth”

“When I began to listen to poetry, it’s when I began to listen to the stones, and I began to listen to what the clouds had to say, and I began to listen to other. And I think, most importantly for all of us, then you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the soul of everyone else.”

one day i'll make a video essay about how the disney live action remakes undermine both animation and musical theater as art forms and storytelling mediums

there is nothing that the live action remakes do that the stage adaptations of the musicals that already exist don't do better, and it's an alternate medium to film so you're not replacing or undermining animation as a medium for storytelling in movies.
