“I'm not so much in the future as always in the present. The future always takes care of itself. What I do now with my video camera, it can only record what is happening now. I am celebrating reality and the essence of the moment. And that's the greatest challenge that I have.” MomentsRealityCareChallengesRecordsHappeningsEssenceCamerasTake CareVideoCelebrateVideo Cameras Author:Jonas Mekas
“As readers, we are seldom interested in the fine sentiments of a lesson learnt; we seldom care about the good manners of morals. Repentance puts an end to conversation; forgiveness becomes the stuff of moralistic tracts. Revenge - bloodthirsty, justice-hungry revenge - is the very essence of romance, lying at the heart of much of the best fiction.” HeartEndsCareRomanceLyingStuffJusticeFictionMoralFineReaderLessonsConversationEssenceRevengeHungryMannersGood ManRepentanceSentimentsGood Manners Author:Alberto Manguel

“Anything that's really good, everybody wants to put their hands on. The multimedia puts their hands on it and everything happens that makes it global.

“We are driven to confess that we actually care more for religion than we do for religious theories and ideas: and in merely making that distinction between religion and its doctrine-elements, have we not already relegated the latter to an external and subordinate position?

“Being is transcended by a concern for being. Our perplexity will not be solved by relating human existence to a timeless, subpersonal abstraction which we call essence.

“Heartbreak is our indication of sincerity: in a love relationship, in a work, in trying to learn a musical instrument, in the attempt to shape a better more generous self. Heartbreak is the beautifully helpless side of love and affection and is just as much an essence and emblem of care as the spiritual athlete's quick but abstract ability to let go... But heartbreak may be the very essence of being human, of being on the journey from here to there, and of coming to care deeply for what we find along the way.” WayTryingHumansMaySelfCareSpiritualSidesAbilityJourneyShapesLetting GoEssenceInstrumentsMusicalAthleteAffectionGenerousAbstractSincerityHelplessBeing HumanIndicationLove RelationshipEmblemsMusical InstrumentsLove And Affection Author:David Whyte
