A quotation from Robert Bolt

YEVGRAF: I told myself it was beneath my dignity to arrest a man for pilfering firewood. But nothing ordered by the Party is beneath the dignity of any man. And the Party was right: one man desperate for a bit of fuel is pathetic; five million people desperate for fuel will destroy a city.

Robert Bolt (1924-1995) English dramatist
Doctor Zhivago, film (1965)

A quotation from D. C. Fontana

   KIRK: Charlie, there are a million things in this universe you can have and there are a million things you can’t have. It’s no fun facing that, but that’s the way things are.
   CHARLIE: Then what am I going to do?
   KIRK: Hang on tight and survive. Everybody does.
   CHARLIE: You don’t.
   KIRK: Everybody, Charlie. Me, too.

Dorothy Catherine "D. C." Fontana (1939-2019) television screenwriter, story editor
Star Trek, 2×02 “Charlie X” [Prod. 08] (1966-09-15) [with Gene Roddenberry]

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Solar – Want.

One of Kpop’s best vocalists delivers a stage brimful of performance energy. As well as sounding great, Solar looks on point from bangs to heels. Some have criticized the song itself, which puzzles me, as it seems an excellent vehicle for Solar’s voice. I don’t always love fan chants, but here they add to the excitement of the performance. All in all, a stage that fills me with joy and makes me happy to be a Kpop fan!
