i think i'll wreck you, i think i'll wreck you, oh no

"'But you have told me nothing of yourself. What are you doing?'

'Painting!' laughed Edna. 'I am becoming an artist. Think of it!'

'Ah! An artist! You have pretensions, Madame.'

'Why pretensions? Do you think I could not become an artist?'

'I do not know you well enough to say. I do not know your talent or your temperament. To be an artist includes much; one must possess many gifts—absolute gifts—which have not been acquired by one's own effort. And, moreover, to succeed, the artist must possess the courageous soul.'

'What do you mean by the courageous soul?'

'Courageous, ma foi!The brave soul. The soul that dares and defies.' "

The Awakening by Kate Chopin

Writer's Block: Music for Thought

When you have to study or get work done, what music (if any) do you put on to help you concentrate?

View 506 Answers

>> The Amélie soundtrack
>> Bright Eyes
>> Chicago by Sufjan Stevens
>> Imogen Heap
>> Kate Nash
>> Meiko Kaji

And sometimes I like to listen to something ironic when I'm tackling a big project, like listening to Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf or some KISS on full volume while typing out a research paper. Or like listening to The Whisper Song while doing some trigonometry.
