Crashingly Beautiful

About

My name is Luke Storms. This is my personal commonplace book that contains quotes, passages, pictures and music from a variety of sources that I find inspiring and encouraging.

It's also an extension of my writing blog, Intense City, where I post my freelance work, write a bit of poetry, dabble in flash fiction and keep a journal of my own personal search.

One more thing: I love the words, “crashingly" and "beautiful” when they are put together, even though spell check doesn’t.

Thanks for visiting.

I can also be found at the following places:

This quote is actually from melanyouth, I mistakenly attributed it to Wolfgang Laib when I reblogged it. Sorry about that. melanyouth: crashinglybeautiful: “If we cannot agree on what is art, perhaps we can agree that there is something very spiritual about the human desire to create, when it is sincere; and that for every crass opportunist selling not art but his ego, there is a quiet soul working by a measure different from his fellows. It is called art only because we don’t have another word for it.” —  correction: melanyouth (from: sunyata, sympathyfortheartgallery, olerud & melanyouth) Hmm, I know I’m getting repetitive, but I’m at work and don’t have time to look up everybody’s email - I wrote this, not Laib. Please correct your reblog, as I’d hate to have anyone (especially him!) come across my poor words and the misattribution!
