- Thinking about thinking serves what end? Only more thinking. Metacognition replicates itself endlessly, like a primitive virus. It replicates itself unthinkingly.
- If there’s no pressure there’s no thought, just an anemic stream of mental chatter.
- What else should we do with our lives, but assault the lies which imprison the mind?
- We need ancient ideas just like we need ancient grains. Neither body nor soul are adapted to modernity.
- Where does the soul begin? Does it have a starting point? Does it having an ending point? Does it begin at all? Or is it (pure) potential?
- We are thoughts that think themselves.
- If society worked the way it’s supposed to, there would be no suicides. A community is meant to replace the void with meaningful practices and purposes.
- Scuff the art object up — dirty it. Then you can understand it.
- Clean the art object off — polish it. Then you can understand it.
- Remove all the signposts along the way of thought: only then ought you proceed.
- Cut all the images away from a dramatic text — just listen: that is the only way to judge the potential of a play.
