“I would say that introverts make some of the best international philosophers. The less common attribute of the introverted lifestyle - a close societal connection, as such a connection disappears or changes in relevance as the currents of the winds change - leaves too much room for one's own cultural bias. Instead, introverts tend to turn inward, the laboratory of being and all its forms. This is the most accurate study of the individual human being, which is in turn, rather than those affected by cultural limitations, the most universal reflection of human understanding and human behavior.” HumansFormTurnsIndividualUnderstandingHuman BeingsRoomsCommonStudyToo MuchWindBehaviorReflectionConnectionsUniversalInternationalPhilosopherCurrentsDisappearLifestyleLimitationAffectedAttributesAccurateBiasInwardIntrovertHuman BehaviorLaboratoryRelevanceIntroverted Author:Criss Jami
“The whole aspect of the universe changes with this new conception. The idea of force governing the world, of pre-established law, preconceived harmony, disappears to make room for the harmony that Fourier had caught a glimpse of: the one which results from the disorderly and incoherent movements of numberless hosts of matter, each of which goes its own way and all of which hold each other in equilibrium.” WorldWayIdeasMatterWholeLawUniverseForceRoomsResultsMovementAspectHarmonyCaughtDisappearConceptionHostGlimpseGoverningEquilibriumFourier Book:Fugitive writings Source: Fugitive writings
“reading is not a passive act. It's a creative act. It's a relationship between the writer and a person the writer will probably never meet. I think it's very wrong to write in a way that leaves no room for the reader to maneuver. I don't want to get in the way. What I'd really like to do is to perform the Indian Rope Trick - go higher and higher and eventually disappear.” ThinkingWayWantWritingPersonsReadingRoomsCreativeReaderHigherDisappearTricksIndianPassiveRope Author:Jeanette Winterson

“If you take a big epic novel and you shoot it, when you get to the editing room you notice that it has 2 million climaxes, which fill the whole 90 or 100 minutes. Then you realize you can't cut them out because if somebody is dying and you cut that out it seems like they just disappear from the film.” IfsWholeBigsSeemsFilmRealizingRoomsMillionsNovelCuttingMinutesDyingDisappearEpicEditingClimax Author:Pirjo Honkasalo
