You can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own.

I want to see JM DeMattis write a story telling the story of Arnie Roth's first real love- the Chassidic boy we see Steve save in the new Captain America comic run. It would be a story similar to Chaim Potok's 'The Chosen'- two Jewish boys from different worlds trying to figure it all out in Brooklyn under the shadow of war. They don't get a fairytale happy ending. The Chassidic boy ends up getting married, and Arnie goes off to fight in WW2, but it would be a bittersweet little story for the times they do have together.

Ho cominciato a rendermi conto che si può ascoltare il silenzio e imparare da esso. Ha una qualità e una dimensione tutta sua.

Camille Paglia, Sexual Personae (1991) | Chapter 1. “Sex and Violence, or Nature and Art”. Maximum Asher Lev.

Millions of people can draw. Art is whether or not there is a scream in you wanting to get out in a special way. ― Chaim Potok, My Name Is Asher Lev

Reading Chaim Potok’s The Promise and came across this paragraph and now I have to stare at a wall
Tumblr media
“I will have to dust off my caftan and practice some dances and songs. It's been a long time." "Yes," Danny said, suddenly serious. "For you. But it's my world, best friend. And I haven't seen anything outside that's better." "Nothing?" I said. "Nothing I can't use and still stay inside."
yes ik this book isn’t actually about being gay and staying religious but…
