“Sometimes you know things have to change, or are going to change, but you can only feel it. Like in that Sam Cooke song, “Change is Gonna Come”. But you don’t know it in a purposeful way. Little things foreshadow whats coming, but you may not recognize them. But then something immediate happens and you’re in another world, you jump into the unknown, you have an instinctive understanding of it. You’re set free.”

Everything is Connected
“To develop a complete mind – study the art of science, the science of art. Learn how to see, realise that everything is connected to everything else.”

“The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.”
On Invisibility
“Beauty is always the result of an accident. Of a violent lapse between acquired habits and those yet to be acquired. It baffles and disgusts. It may even horrify. Once the new habit has been acquired, the accident ceases to be an accident. It becomes classical and loses its shock value.”
“we forget or tend to forget that life can only be defined in the present tense”
“Things are both more trivial than they ever were, and more important than they ever were, and the difference between the trivial and the important doesn’t seem to matter. But the nowness of everything is absolutely wondrous, and if people could see that, you know. There’s no way of telling you; you have to experience it, but the glory of it, if you like, the comfort of it, the reassurance … not that I’m interested in reassuring people – bugger that.”
Paul Greer
