“Now I can't abide rudeness, even in so called great artists. Rudeness and cruelty are the qualities I hate most. Rudeness and cruelty are always connected, I feel. One example out of many is Stalin.”
Dmitri Shostakovich
new yorkers, especially transplants, go about their day in an animalist trance, constantly transfixed by the mundane and filthy surroundings of their trash filled rat infested city. something as meaningless as a blob of concrete ignites the sublime within their smog addled brain
@financedystop Neglected to mention:
- Hospital bill for delivery (both mother and infant)
- Insurance
- Furniture (crib, changing table, etc.)
- Toys/books
