...but rather the world's creation.

"But when an infant gazes into his mother's eyes and speaks a first word--even if he has no clue what it 'means'--*that* is language. The child's first word is *not* a symbol. It is not a representation, it is not a sign impregnated with abstract meaning, it is not a signifier and not a semiote. It is not a thin coating of significance painted over the surface of an a priori extant concept, suddenly revealing its definition like the act of throwing a sheet over something invisible. It is not a representation. Before a word becomes any of these things, it is simply an *act*. It is not a naming of the world, but rather the world's creation." -Benjamin Hale; The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore

Destruction is only creation...

"Destruction is only creation in drag." -Andrew Harvey

It is because modern education...

"It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. The wish to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young." -Bertrand Russell

If your daily life seems poor...

"If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not a poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place." -Rainer Maria Rilke

Every act of creation...

"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction." -Pablo Picasso

Joy is but the sign...

"Joy is but the sign of that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose." -Charles Du Bos

A new idea is delicate...

"A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown on the right person's brow." -Charles Brower

Even if I was created...

"Even if I was created to serve one purpose alone, I do not regret being born to this world." -Final Fantasy IX

We were all created...

"We were all created for the wrong reason, but you alone defied our fate. We do not want to forget this. We want your memory to live on forever... to remind us that we were not created for the wrong reason--that our life has meaning." -Final Fantasy IX
