Quotes for today:

From Danny Miller:

But imagine all the cathartic possibilities of directing your family members in a film that YOU get to write. The opportunities for “closure” are intoxicating!

From Sandhill Trek:

Krishnamurti said, "We must create immediately an atmosphere of freedom so that you can live and find out for yourselves what is true, so that you become intelligent, so that you are able to face the world and understand it, not just conform to it, so that inwardly, deeply, psychologically you are in constant revolt; because it is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth."

From Always Question:

"...a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind." J. Krishnamurti

From Never Neutral:

"Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it..." Hannah Arendt, 1958

From Winston Rand:

Planet Blog is very clearly built on symbiotic relationships. Each of us learns something every time we log on and read others’ works. Likewise, our readers learn from and are at least in some small way changed or influenced by our rants and ramblings. Sometimes positive, occasionally negative, but always there is change.

Change is what I crave from anything I read or watch. What drives me nuts about most Hollywood movies is that you come out two hours later exactly as you went in. Your nervous system has had a meaningless workout, that's all. Maybe that's a good definition of why the blogosphere is so alive and nourishing. A constant process of collaborative discovery.

Ah, Amba. So wise and helpful as always, as I struggle with my "blogger self" again and again: "Maybe that's a good definition of why the blogosphere is so alive and nourishing. A constant process of collaborative discovery."
