“We see the world in terms of what we would like to see happen, not what actually does.”

“I'm like everyone else—I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.”

“...and we'll see what happens when we say Yes while this rigor mortis world screams No.”

“Art does not reproduce what we see. It makes us see.”

“We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.”

“Death does that: it makes everyone feel sentimental. When we stand in front of a coffin, we all see only what is good or what we want to see.”
