Right, we've got these institutions of media, these financial institutions, we have the means of distribution, we have the means of production, we have all these markets and maxims in place. How do we alter the consciousness, the fundamental unifying field? How do we influence change on that level to all of the world?

The world isn't made of atoms, it's made of stories.

Rebel children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.

I regret that I didn’t realize that actually they’ve got no power over you at school — it’s all just a trick to indoctrinate you into being a conditioned, tame, placid citizen. Rebel, children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory.

When you fall in love you recognise you're not the most important person in the world, and your focus becomes another person.

The thing for me is, what if one returns to these maxims, these rather simplistic maxims "Be the change you want to see in the world." Because what canvas have we but the self for these kind of explorations, ultimately.

We continue to be spilled on by consumerism even though we know it doesn't make us happy.
