Turcois Ominek
“I'm guilty of giving people more chances than they deserve but when I'm done, I'm done.”
Turcois Ominek

Iain McGilchrist
“Meaning emerges from engagement with the world, not from abstract contemplation of it.”
Iain McGilchrist, The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning

Iain McGilchrist
“Thinking is always thinking, but philosophical thinking is, upon the whole, at the extreme end of the scale of distance from the active urgency of concrete situations. It is because of this fact that neglect of context is the besetting fallacy of philosophical thought … I should venture to assert that the most pervasive fallacy of philosophic thinking goes back to neglect of context … neglect of context is the greatest single disaster which philosophic thinking can incur.”
Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World

Iain McGilchrist
“Compared with music all communication by words is shameless; words dilute and brutalise; words depersonalise; words make the uncommon common.”
Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World

Katherine Boo
“Much of what was said did not matter, and that much of what mattered could not be said.”
Katherine Boo, Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity
