WORDS OF WISDOM

However small your audience

However frustrating it is

To get your version of the world

Or what you want to talk about out there

It’s part of the conversation

And if you shut up

The conversation is one-sided

(John Sayles)

Through art a civilisation stays awake

(Mario Petrucci)

What literally happened is less important

Than what metaphorically happened

The two combine to create what really happened

Myth is not imaginary

It is a product of the imagination

(Patrick Harpur)

The words are vague and opaque

And they are a quick amalgamation

Of people, places and events

They are about things that could have happened

But did not

And things that did happen

But could not have

If you think that last sentence is silly

Chances are you probably won't like my words much

(Steven Kilbey)

If one person says it's raining

And another person says it's dry

It's not your job to quote them both

It's your job to look out of the window

(George Monbiot)

The left hemisphere

Is my second favourite hemisphere

(Iain McGilchrist)

The cave you fear to enter

Holds the treasure you seek

(Joseph Campbell)

The easiest way to become successful

Is to help others to succeed

(Adam Grant)

Whatever the present moment contains

Accept it as if you had chosen it

(Eckhart Tolle)

We see things not as they are

But as we are

(The Talmud)

Computers are useless

They only give us answers

(Pablo Picasso)

You possess only whatever will not be lost

In a shipwreck

(El Ghazali)

It's good to be idle

(Tom Hodgkinson)

Heal don't hurt

(Walt Whitman)

Only connect...

(E M Forster)
