Re-Genius Fiona Apple Quotes from The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do

Fiona Apple is a Regin-ius, Regina-us, re-genius...
She is a wordsmith, she forges words into poems that cut into your senses and make you taste, smell, feel and see them as she craftily delivers them into your ears.



The rib is the shell and the heart is a yolk
I just made a meal for us both to choke on

 I could liken you to a werewolf
The way you left me for dead
But I admit that I provided a full moon

I made it to a dinner date
My teardrops seasoned every plate

'Cause in the end I'm a sensible girl
I know the fiction of the fix

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
 

permission to remember

I keep forgetting, and then remember from the rockbottom . . . that it is all about permission, especially the permission to be yourself, or at least the permission to remember to be on the quest to find out what/who that is. Seek it and find it and share it so that others have that permission as well.

but:
The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair. ― Walker Percy

That "everydayness" gets me every time, unless I am not in the time/space of the everydayness and then, the magic flows - over under around and through - me . . .

and:
Theoretically there is a perfect possibility of happiness: believing in the indestructible element in oneself and not striving towards it. ―Franz Kafka
