#Thinking Quotes

“Are we all not, when we sit in the cinema, in the position of humans in The Matrix, tied to chairs, immersed in the spectacle run by a machine? However, a more appropriate allegory is that of the viewer himself: beneath the illusion that we "just look" at the perceived objects from a safe distance, freely sliding along them, there is the reality of the innumerable ties that bind us to what we perceive.”
“A beautiful problem is no joke!”
“Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?”
“You can't change people by removing something. You must create a void and then fill it...”
“The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing.”
“You are as safe with me as you would be in the Bank of England.”
“It turned out that some crooked things looked even worse when straightened. Some tangled knots only made sense once unraveled.”
