“Direction, like time, is a general thing, the deprived of boundaries and borders. It is an endless process interception and reinterception, doubling back and adjusting.”

“There are comforts in knowing the boundaries of the place you live. Everyone here seems to behave like things are endless.”

“How one walks through the world, the endless small adjustments of balance, is affected by the shifting weights of beautiful things.”

“One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart”

“By the time I make my way to the border of Mauritania, to the edge of the Sahara, I see no end to being lost. You can spend your entire life simply falling in that direction. It isn't a station you reach but just the general state of going down. Once you make it back, if you make it back, you will stand before your long-lost friends but in some essential way they will no longer know you.”

“Computational processes are abstract beings that inhabit computers. As they evolve, processes manipulate other abstract things called data. The evolution of a process is directed by a pattern of rules called a program. People create programs to direct processes. In effect, we conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells.”
