“I bet there are still many openings and loopholes in art history ... which are being overlooked right now by millions of young people who complain that everything has already been done, so that they cannot do new breakthroughs. However, the history of the world says that we don't win the games, but we change the rules of the games.”
Nam June Paik

“Farewell, my dearest. You have but gone ahead...
but I shall follow, and run, at last, again into your arms...
and laugh away the years that came between.”
Joan Walsh Anglund, The Friend We Have Not Met: Poems of Consolation

Charles Baudelaire
“Isn't it true that a pleasant house makes winter more poetic, and doesn't winter add to the poetry of a house?”
Charles Baudelaire, Artificial Paradises

Michael  White
“Why we do what do matters. When we lose our why, we lose our way. We inevitably get lost when we don't know why we are doing what we are doing.”
Michael White

Douglas Coupland
“So I got to thinking that perhaps that’s what money is: a crystallization—or, rather, a homogenization—of time and free will into those things we call dollars and pounds and yen and euros. Money multiplies your time. It also expands your agency and broadens the number of things you can do accordingly. Big-time lottery winners haven’t won ten million dollars—they’ve won ten thousand person-years of time to do pretty much anything they want anywhere on Earth. Windfalls are like the crystal meth version of time and free will.”
Douglas Coupland, Bit Rot
