4.014 A gramophone record, the musical idea, the written notes, and the sound-waves, all stand to one another in the same internal relation of depicting that holds between language and the world. They are all constructed according to a common logical pattern. (Like the two youths in the fairy-tale, their two horses, and their lilies. They are all in a certain sense one).

4.0141 There is a general rule by means of which the musician can obtain the symphony from the score, and which makes it possible to derive the symphony from the groove on the gramophone record, and, using the first rule, to derive the score again. That is what constitutes the inner similarity between these things which seem to be constructed in such entirely different ways. And that rule is the law of projection which projects the symphony into the language of musical notation. It is s the rule for translating this language into the language of gramophone records.

There is not a dichotomy between small talk and profound. Small talk is what you say with minimal thought, it is the most common talk because it's easy to produce and shows you aren't dysfunction and is used as a social ritual the same way coffee is. There are plenty of sorts of talk besides that, which even most celebrities area capable of. Some aren't.

I think this woman is slightly below average and not beautiful in the slightest.

>> No.5168840

>>5168797

Well, that’s your taste, and nobody can force you to acknowledge her as beautiful. To be fair even her didn’t think she was beautiful (she complained of her skinniness, her small breasts, her nose, and other things), and so the thing is really a matter of opinion.

However there are some main body characteristics that are and always were deemed as beautiful in all cultures of the world, and Hepburn scores high in many of them. There is also the fact that she was extremely feminine, and reported by almost everyone who met her as an extremely charming, delicate, educate and elegant person. She was that kind of human being that everybody loves, that everybody feels good beside. It’s not only her beauty, but also that aura of infinite grace and femininity.

Also: her beauty was not the common one, the standard female beauty. It was an exotic beauty, specially her own.

Now look at this screen test. She didn’t know she was being filmed in part of it (the part where there is a voice of a non-appearing man interviewing her), so she is being natural and authentic. Just look at her and tell me you don’t feel some strange warmth inside your bowels (jump to 1:45 minutes at the video):
