This has decided me – if I’m tempted to pursue friendship with a person, I will first ask myself “is this someone to whom I’d confide my belief that to watch What’s Opera, Doc? (1957) is to experience the Sublime, or that there are connections to be drawn between Shakespeare’s Bottom, that guy from the “Double Rainbow” meme a few years back, and the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich?” They don’t necessarily have to agree, they just have to not look at me as though I’m crazy for even bringing it up. Admittedly, Friedrich, going by his expression in portraits, would probably think I was crazy.
