Quote by Brett Stevens

“Forgiveness is giving up on the treacle of what has failed and moving towards that which is more ideal. It takes us from a negative logic of detesting something, to a space of emptiness, from which we can reconnect with creative logic and instead of acting out our fears of the negative, reach toward what may be beautiful.”

“We have a tendency to describe capitalism with familiar, well-worn words like ‘markets’ and ‘trade’. But this isn’t quite accurate. Markets and traders were around for thousands of years before capitalism, and they are innocent enough on their own. What makes capitalism different from most other economic systems in history is that it’s organised around the imperative of constant expansion, or ‘growth’: ever-increasing levels of industrial extraction, production and consumption, which we measure as Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Growth is the prime directive of capital. Not growth for any particular purpose, mind you, but growth for its own sake. And it has a kind of totalitarian logic to it: every industry, every sector, every national economy must grow, all the time, with no identifiable end-point.”

“QUESTIONS are valiant. Partially confrontational. Because a question is asked, the assumption is that an answer is unknown. A stimulate for a discussion. When a question is posed, so is a requirement. You’re either going to answer or elude. Lie or tell your truth. Elaborate or give short answers. There is an opening for logic or emotion. Or both.”

“The word NOTHING lacks comparison when there’s an absence of action. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing, as said by Billy Preston. Yet, the decision to do nothing can differ. Indicating that, once before in time, a decision was made in a similar scenario of some sort. Can we trust without comparison? A response from a friend suggested that because trust is debatably a natural instinct [similar to love] and comparison is not of the like, you can trust without comparison.”
