“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Creation brings satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take organized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty.” HumansSoulMatterHandsDesireWishAbilityTalentCreationSatisfactionBackgroundsFulfillmentOrganizedYearningInherentHuman SoulMold Author:Dieter F.

“Many of the early greats of sf Hugo Gernsback (publisher of Amazing Stories) in particular saw themselves as educators.

“It was apparent to me that religion was an invented thing, a wish-fulfillment thing, a fantasy thing. It was much more real, dangerous, to accept that mortality was the end for you as an individual. As an atheist, I don't believe in an afterlife, so if you're thinking of murder, if your subject is murder, then that's a physical act of absolute destruction because you're ending something, a body, that is unique. That person never existed before, will never exist again, will not be karmically recycled, will not go to heaven, therefore I take it seriously.” IfsThinkingBelievePersonsRealEndsBodyIndividualHeavenWishAcceptingFantasySubjectsDangerousUniqueDestructionMurderAbsolutesDon't BelieveAtheistFulfillmentMortalityAfterlifeRecycled Author:David Cronenberg

“Let me define a garden as the meeting of raw nature and the human imagination in which both seek the fulfillment of their beauty. Every sign indicates that nature wants us and wishes for collaboration with us, just as we long for nature to be fulfilled in us. If our original state was to live in a garden, as Adam and Eve did, then a garden signals our absolute origins as well as our condition of eternity, while life outside the garden is time and temporality.” IfsWantHumansWellsLongStatesTimeWishImaginationBeautyConditionsGardenLet MeEternityAbsolutesOriginalsMeetingsFulfillmentCollaborationAdamFulfilledSignalsWant UAdam And EveHuman ImaginationTemporality Author:Thomas Moore
