Favourite quotes

SNOW PIECE Think that snow is falling Think that snow is falling everywhere all the time. When you talk to a person, think that snow is falling between you and on the person. Stop conversing when you think the person is covered with snow. -- Yoko Ono. 1963 summer. When everybody is swept away unthinkingly by what everybody else does and believes in, those who think are drawn out of hiding because their refusal to join in is conspicuous and thereby becomes a kind of action. [...] The manifestation of the wind of thought is not knowledge; it is the ability to tell right from wrong, beautiful from ugly. And this, at the rare moments when the stakes are on the table, may indeed prevent catastrophes, at least for the self. -- Hannah Arendt, Life of the Mind.
