"Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding."

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

"McLuhan gave us a way to understand the evocative in any medium in Understanding Media (1964) with his distinction between “hot” and “cool” media. A medium is “hot” if it is high-definition - saturated with information - especially along one sensory dimension. A “cool” medium is less saturated and so invites more imaginative participation from the “reader” (or viewer) in that they are called upon to “fill in.” By this definition, the language of the Bible can be described as “cool” in many respects. In contrast, the visually saturated medium of film can be seen as “hot” (with certain artistic exceptions that are intentionally ambiguous). You see where I am going with this."

"The world is many things, and no single framework is large enough to contain them all, neither that of man’s science nor of his poetry, neither that of calculating reason nor that of pure intuition. And just as the love of music does not suffice to enable one to play the violin - one must also master the craft of the instrument and the music itself - Weizenbaum"
