Medium Quotes

“Je cherche le caractère dans chaque matière. Or le caractère de la céramique de gris est le sentiment du grand feu, et cette figure [sculpture] calcinée dans cet enfer, en exprime je crois assez fortement le caractère.

Turn it off! It sounds like the inside of my head when I go mad and have to go the hospital.”

“Or maybe that’s what it’s all about: this religion’s substance is its lack of substance. In McLuhanesque terms, the medium is the message. Some people might find that cool.” “McLuhanesque?” “Hey, look, even I read a book now and then,” Ayumi protested. “McLuhan was ahead of his time. He was so popular for a while that people tend not to take him seriously, but what he had to say was right.” “In other words, the package itself is the contents. Is that it?” “Exactly. The characteristics of the package determine the nature of the contents, not the other way around.”

“Love and intuition are born of the same source. Of all the gifts you will receive in this life, love is the only one with everlasting power. Love is your companion in this world and into the next.”
