I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process—an integral function of the universe.

Your thought structure and your actual physiological framework are limited, but life itself is not.

In solving problems, technology creates new problems, and we seem to have to keep running faster and faster to stay where we are.

The fragmentariness of personal experience creates problems at an accelerating rate.

The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

The universe is at root a magical illusion and a fabulous game.

One of the highest pleasures is to be more or less unconscious of one’s own existence, to be absorbed in sights, sounds, places, and people.

The age of writing has passed. We must invent a new metaphor, restructure our thoughts and feelings.

Nothing on earth can be distant at the speed of light.

Objective reality is a synthetic construct dealing with a hypothetical universalization of a multitude of subjective realities.

If artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.
