Are You Right-Brained Or Left-Brained?

There is not enough ugly beauty in the world. Ugly beauty is the truth we need to hear the most but want to hear the least.

Shakespeare gets diagrammatic.

These visualised Shakespeare quotes are dope. Part of a series, they were designed by Nicholas Weltyk to promote three productions from New York based art college, the Pratt Institute.

One for performing arts, literary, quote and maths-nerds to enjoy in equal measure. 

BARD-ASS.

Venezuela state media: 7 dead in post-election violence ›

I don’t want to demean the awful nature of what happened in Boston, nor do I strive to be preachy, but I genuinely hope that we keep aware of, and are troubled by, the way violence affects people anywhere. Honest human compassion transcends state boundaries.

you know what makes people better than other people? being nice. being nice is the greatest thing you can be and if you are a nice person who likes nickelback, you are better than a mean person who likes radiohead.

Fred Rogers on facing sadness and anger

Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. It takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.

From “20 Gentle Quotations from Mister Rogers” over at Mental Floss.

What the fuck even is Alternative music?
