Get to work. Your work is to keep cranking the flywheel that turns the gears that spin the belt in the engine of belief that keeps you and your desk in midair.


Annie Dillard

Because the child must have a valuable thing which is called imagination. The child must have a secret world in which live things that never were. It is necessary that she believe. She must start out believing in things not of this world. Then when the world becomes too ugly for living in, the child can reach back and live in her imagination.


Betty Smith

For me, the best thing about Cyberpunk is that it taught me how to enjoy shopping malls, which used to terrify me. Now I just imagine the whole thing is two miles below the moon’s surface, and that half the people’s right-brains have been eaten by roboticized steel rats. And suddenly it’s interesting again.

Paradigma sekular dan liberal yang mencirikan peradaban Barat hari ini telah meruntuhkan semua kebenaran mutlak. Setiap dakwaan kebenaran telah menjadi relatif dari segi masa (historicization of truth); relatif dari segi geografi, budaya dan status sosial (sociology of knowledge); relatif dari segi sifat bahasa manusia yang terbatas (the limits of language); relatif dilihat dari perspektif hermeneutika kerana setiap pemerhati adalah juga pentafsir. Oleh yang demikian, dilihat dari sudut yang pelbagai itu, pemaknaan tentang sesuatu perkara selamanya bersifat sementara, terbatas, maka untuk mengatasi keterbatasan ini perspektif yang lain harus diambil kira. Di sinilah faham pluralisme dianggap penting untuk menghalang manusia dari kecenderungan mengabsolutkan yang relatif.


Khalif Muammar

It’s a sort of furtiveness … Like we were a generation of furtive. You know, with an inner knowledge there’s no use flaunting on that level, the level of the ‘public’, a kind of beatness – I mean, being right down to it, to ourselves, because we all really know where we are – and a weariness with all the forms, all the conventions of the world … It’s something like that. So I guess you might say we’re a beat generation.
