From childhood I had never believed in permanence and yet I had longed for it. Always I was afraid of losing happiness. Graham Greene  THE QUIET AMERICAN

"Physiologically, man in the normal use of technology (or his variously extended body) is perpetually modified by it and in turn finds ever new ways of modifying his technology. Man becomes, as it were, the sex organs of the machine world, as the bee of the plant world, enabling it to fecundate and to evolve ever new forms." Marshall McLuhan Understanding Media

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation Henry David Thoreau  Walden

We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.  -Pascal Mercier

Everything, it seemed,  was built on opposites, on division.  No breath could both be in and out,  none could be free and yet orderly.  Always the one paid for the other,  though each was equally essentia l . Narcissus and Golmund ~ Herman Hesse
