“There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns.”
Octavia E. Butler

Mario Vargas Llosa
“He undressed and, wearing slippers and a robe, went to the bathroom to shave. He turned on the radio. They read the newspapers on the Dominican Voice and Caribbean Radio. Until a few years ago the news bulletins had begun at five. But when his brother Petan, the owner of the Dominican Voice, found out that he woke at four, he moved the newscasts up an hour. The other stations followed suit. They knew he listened to the radio while he shaved, bathed, and dressed, and they were painstakingly careful.”
mario vargas llosa, The Feast of the Goat

Amanda Palmer
“Asking for help with shame says:
You have the power over me.
Asking with condescension says:
I have the power over you.
But asking for help with gratitude says:
We have the power to help each other.
Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

“Many cherish art as a special haven within an over-schematized world, where ambiguities can thrive. If an artwork’s message is self-evident, maybe it’s just an illustration, a decorative non-entity, a well-executed craft object, hardly counting as ‘significant’ art at all. It’s not just that without an explanation the viewer is lost; without some written framework to steady it, the art itself risks losing its way, never gaining traction in the contemporary art system. From this perspective, both viewer and artwork alike are as if handicapped without the art-world’s special assistance.”
Gilda Williams, How to Write About Contemporary Art

“Чтобы человек мог стоять, он должен все время падать. Что это значит, что он должен падать? Он должен отклоняться и приводить себя в равновесное состояние.

Когда впервые появляется управление? Во-первых, когда в систему закладывается жесткая организация, и, во-вторых, когда начинаются постоянные отклонения от нее и нарушения. Вот когда эти условия есть, вы начинаете исходить из двух идей, как бы взаимно исключающих друг друга: первое — есть формальная организация, второе — в реальных ситуациях нормативные документы не могут выполняться как таковые. Вот тогда и появляется необходимость в управлении. Тогда и только тогда. [...] Управление нужно, когда вы строите систему из ненадежных элементов. Должна быть обеспечена надежность целого при ненадежных элементах.”
Георгий Щедровицкий, Оргуправленческое мышление: идеология, методология, технология
