“[When testing psychic abilities of normal people who claimed no psychic powers, J.B Rhine found that] success rate deteriorates if you undertake prolonged experimentation. As with telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition experiments, J.B Rhine observed that this decline effect reflected the subject's loss of interest. [...] And as with other ESP experiments, the degree of belief in your powers can prove significant. Rhine found that sceptics again scored below what you would expect from chance alone.”

“I sometimes tell my students to do a writing exercise that’s just something on their desk. An object they’ve had with them for a while, a photograph, a stone from the ocean, a shell. I tell them just to explore it, interrogate it, just turn it over in your head and see what might happen. And the most amazing thing happens: they really find they love those objects, and can write about them for a long time. That they carried that black stone home from a day with their father just weeks before he died, that the small elephant was a gift from a friend on a day of heartbreak. We start talking about those objects and soon it feels like our whole life is full of small stories to be grateful for. So many small things we pass all the time without holding them up to the light.”

“Неопределенность, бесплановая природа времени пугает, однако благодаря мышлению в понятиях прекарности делается очевидным: неопределенность-то и делает жизнь возможной. Единственная причина, почему все это звучит странно, - в том, что большинство из нас выросло в грезах о модернизации и прогрессе. Эти рамки выделяют те черты настоящего, которые могут вести к будущему. [...] Понятие прогресса, относящееся к положению вещей в целом, ныне встречается редко, и даже модернизация ХХ века уже воспринимается как архаика. Но их категории - всегда с нами. Мы ежедневно представляем себе образы прогресса: демократия, рост, наука, перспективы. С чего нам ожидать, что экономика будет расти, а науки - развиваться? [...] Тем не менее современная человеческая спесь - не единственный план создания миров: мы окружены множеством творящих миров проектов - и человеческих, и нет. ... Миры возникают и такими способами - и благодаря им мы учимся смотреть и по сторонам, а не исключительно вперед.”

“Logically, federalism, brought to its ultimate consequences, applied not only to the different places people inhabit but also to the various functions they perform in society, right to the commune, to whatever association, up to the individual, means the same thing as anarchy - free and sovereign units that associate for the common benefit.”
