SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom.

PLATO: Neither do the ignorant seek after wisdom.

Can't make this up: "'Trumpery' became a fashionable word" in 1840s England to describe the overuse of cheap decorative elements on houses. (Muthesius, Stefan. The English Terraced House. Yale U Pres, 1982. p242.)

I still think this may be my favourite of the lists l have put together on @letterboxd.social - my favourite genre, white people out of their depth and slowly going crazy in the global south.

Experimenting with gouache a bit this week. Was getting frustrated with the slowness required, struggling with it not looking like what I’m used to with watercolor, so I started adding silly creatures til it was fun again. Don’t ask why they all have 1 eye. They just do. 🎨

"The artwork has already been concealed by large sheets of black plastic and two metal barriers".

Of course it has. That is how the British state deals with problems, just cover them up and don't let anyone get close.

Not to mention the uniformed guards.
