“It’s very important to understand the meaning of communication, which is to create together, to understand together, to work together.” — J. Krishnamurti, in ‘Inward Revolution’

“The artist is always engaged in writing a detailed history of the future because he is the only person aware of the nature of the present.” — Marshall McLuhan

“Artists cannot be trained. One does not become an artist by acquiring certain skills or techniques, though one can use any number of skills and techniques in artistic activity. The creative is found in anyone who is prepared for a surprise. Such a person cannot go to school to be an artist, but can only go to school as an artist.” — James P. Carse, in ‘Finite and Infinite Games’

“The New Autonomy will either infiltrate the media and subvert ‘it’ from within — or else never be “seen” at all. The TAZ exists not only beyond Control but also beyond definition, beyond gazing and naming as acts of enslaving, beyond the understanding of the State, beyond the State’s ability to SEE.” — Hakim Bey, ‘The Temporary Autonomous Zone’

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – this is to have succeeded.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
