"As you probably know, I'm often accused of intellectual exhibitionism
and all forms of elitism. Although I can understand this point of

our centre-ground of activity becomes very, very impoverished." -
Peter Greenaway

the door to infinite wisdom, but to
set limits to infinite error.                       -- Brecht


Emergent Mind awakens to a terrifying fragility in its lonely
isolation. Imagination and will transcend all reality and

zones of innerspace and effervescent dream; and it is this that will
be the supreme issue and struggle of the Twenty-First Century.
St. Boniface


Liberals say we live in an age of limited choices, I say its only

We have nothing to lose but our limitations.
 - David Musick


The most damaging phrase in the language is: `It's always been done that way.'

People's belief in their own local reality-tunnels keep us all far
