I'm standing up thinking. Anybody who wants to listen is welcome. If not, I'm happy to see them go.

My way of thinking is very particular and concrete. It doesn't follow a continuous path.

There are editing procedures for talks just as there are editing procedures in jazz improvisation.

My mother turned into a professional widow. She couldnt understand why I wanted to be an engineer; she thought I should be a chicken farmer.

The Sophists' paradoxical talk pieces and their public debates were entertainment in 5th century Greece. And in that world, Socrates was an entertainer.

The ancient Greek "oral poets" all had this anxiety about the deficiencies of their memories and always began poems by praying to the muse to help them remember.

When my mother left her second husband, she wrote her autobiography and presented it to him for his approval.
