David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

"Some thoughts are just more interesting than others. I’ll have an idea to go get a cup of coffee, for instance. Or for a scene in a film. Or for making a chair. This is why daydreaming is so important to me. All the thoughts just flow."—David Lynch Good night David Lynch.

“So much of the human brain is devoted to language. How limiting, how pathetic even, to have evolved toward speaking rather than sensing. An evolutionary wrong turn: the limits of talking, the circling and circling in a tank too small—in a tank at all.” theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
