More philosophical quotes

"Imagine an infant lying in it's cradle and the window is open. Into the room comes something marvelous, mysterious, glittering, shedding light of many colors, movement, sound, a transformative  heirophamy of integrated perception. The child is enthralled by it's beauty and then the mother comes in and she says to the child, "That's a bird baby, a bird"."

"If there's a Demon inside the human nature, there is surely an Angel of equal power."

"If no fruit flies died for six months, the earth would spin out of it's orbit due to the weight of fruit flies."

"Ideology always paves the way to Atrocity."

"A certain level of alienation is the cost of sanity in this society."

"If you don't contradict yourself, your position isn't complex enough."

"We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the earth in flames we can barely rouse ourselves to get up across the room to check the thermostat."
