“I made a very bad mistake; I miscounted these scraps of information on the record as 92, and in continual homage to this man who had been so influential to me, I began creating or constructing my own films on this so-called "magic" number of 92 ... but when I eventually made a film about John Cage and met him, I explained this to him, and he found it very amusing because there are only 90 stories on the two sides of the record, and I'd based three years of my filmic career on this mathematical error!” MenYearsMadeTwoStoriesFilmThreeFoundSidesMy OwnNumbersMistakeCareersRecordsMagicInformationMetsCreatingErrorsMathematicalThree YearsCagesInfluentialAmusingTwo SidesScrapHomageBad Mistake Author:Peter Greenaway

“And if you look at society, the way it works, they are creating, from cradle to grave, left-brain prisoners. To advance in this society, you have to be good at passing exams in school, which are taking in left-brain information overwhelmingly. Then you go to the next level, and so on so that by the time you reach any level of significant influence in society or the institutions of society, you are fundamentally locked into your left brain.
