I know I can walk through the world, along the shore or under the trees, with my mind filled with things of little importance, in full self-attendance. A condition I can't really call being alive.
Mary Oliver
Image
The conditions conducive to deep thought have become increasingly rare in our highly mediated lives... Now we live in an attention economy, where the most in-demand commodity is 'eyeballs.
Laura Miller
Image
Shyness is a condition foreign to the heart - a category, a dimension which leads to loneliness.

John Kenneth Galbraith
Image
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
