“As Colin Wilson has written, "modern civilisation, with its mechanised rigidity is producing more outsiders than ever before-people who are too intelligent to do some repetitive job, but not intelligent enough to make their own terms with society." Those "intelligent enough" to make their own terms with society are what we will later refer to as artists of life. The outsider views himself as a product of a culture he rejects-the artist views himself as a culture-builder.” PeopleEnoughJobsArtistCultureTermViewsWrittenModernProductsIntelligentRejectsOutsidersCivilisationBuilderWilsonRigidityRepetitive Book:Zen and the Art of Making a Living: A Practical Guide to Creative Career Design Source: Zen and the Art of Making a Living: A Practical Guide to Creative Career Design
“Here we must distinguish between society and culture. A society can be interested in a man or woman only as a political or economic entity; a culture is interested in more. Culture means literally "to cultivate" or "to care for." Cultures care for their peoples as natural, spiritual beings and not simply as workers or consumers.” MenMeanCareSpiritualPoliticalCultureNaturalEconomicWorkersConsumersEntitySpiritual BeingsSociety And Culture Author:Laurence Boldt
