Marshall McLuhan
“A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.”
Marshall McLuhan, The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man

Pearl S. Buck
“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that
without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.”
Pearl S. Buck

Marshall McLuhan
“Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.”
Marshall McLuhan

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Italo Calvino

But every moment of my life brings with it an accumulation of new facts, and each of these new facts bring with it consequences; so the more I seek to return to the zero moment from which I set out, the further I move away from it. . . .”
Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler
