“Meaning is not in things but in between them.”
Norman O. Brown

“The human body is not a thing or a substance, given, but a continuous creation.”
Norman O. Brown

“Utopian speculations ... must come back into fashion. They are a way of affirming faith in the possibility of solving problems that seem at the moment insoluble. Today even the survival of humanity is a utopian hope.”
Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History
