“By paying a certain kind of attention, you can humanise or dehumanise, cherish or strip of all value. By a kind of alienating, fragmenting and focal attention, you can reduce humanity – or art, sex, humour, or religion – to nothing. You can so alienate yourself from a poem that you stop seeing the poem at all, and instead come to see in its place just theories, messages and formal tropes; stop hearing the music and hear only tonalities and harmonic shifts; stop seeing the person and see only mechanisms – all because of the plane of attention. More than that, when such a state of affairs comes about, you are no longer aware that there is a problem at all. For you do not see what it is you cannot see.”

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

So you’re made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?

After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?

My sister’s first-born child, I’m gonna take that too with me. My grandmother’s last smile, I’m gonna take that too with me. It’s a beautiful life, remember that too for me.

Nature is not our enemy, to be raped and conquered. Nature is ourselves, to be cherished and explored.

Stay here. Stay as long as you can. For the love of God! Cherish it
