“I think people are naturally good, I see it every day. Look at this restaurant. No one's causing anybody any trouble in here. We're all sitting, respecting each other's space, we're keeping our voices down, we're saying "please" and "thank you" - those are acts of generosity that we commit on a second by second basis that we don't give ourselves enough credit for. There's a lot of kindness in this world, we're just such vain creatures; our vanity can be used against us so easily. We're like dogs, hairless dogs.” PeopleThinkingWorldGivingLooksEnoughUsedVoiceSpaceKindnessTroubleDogThis WorldPleaseCreaturesSittingBasesCreditCommitVanityGenerosityVainRestaurantsSaying PleasePlease And Thank You Author:Torquil Campbell
“Blind hope. Blind hope is all we have. There's a Greek tragedy called Prometheus Bound; Prometheus is the [titan] that gave humans fire. He's chained to a rock and bemoaning his fate and saying, "I gave you everything. By giving you fire, I gave you blind hope. By giving you a little light that kept you warm at night, I let you believe that this was all going to be okay." For me, that's what art has been. Music and books, it's an act of hope to make them, and it's an act of hope to listen to them. That hope will be dashed, you will say goodbye.” GivingBelieveHumansLittlesHas BeensArtBookLightNightFireFateRocksOkayTragedyBlindBoundsWarmGreekGoodbyeSaying GoodbyeChainedTitansGreek TragedyPrometheus Author:Torquil Campbell
