• The really creative person is not interested in dominating anybody. He is so utterly rejoicing in life - he wants to create, he wants to participate with God. Creativity is prayer. And whenever you create something, in those moments you are with God, you walk with God, you live in God. The more creative you are the more divine you are. To me, creativity is religion. Art is just the entrance to the temple of religion.

  Rajneesh

• Because we are free we can never be indifferent to the fate of freedom elsewhere.

• Hermeneutics is a way of looking at Being as an inheritance that is never considered as ultimate data.

• I think it was rather an advantage not having any living poets in England or America in whom one took any particular interest.

Fortunately we weren't bothered by each other.

• We are moving rapidly from an era of an oligopoly of content providers to an oligopoly of content controllers: new choke points. This is not media consolidation in the traditional sense, where a few huge conglomerates used economies of scale to dominate journalism by dominating the local and national agendas. This consolidation, to a very few companies plus increasing government intervention, is even more dangerous - and information providers of all kinds are finally starting to grasp what’s happening.
