“What haunts me is not exactly the absence of literal space so much as a deep craving for metaphorical space: release, escape, some kind of open-ended freedom.”

“There's a deep thirst and hunger to know more about space, literally because of the Star Trek phenomenon.”

“I give up freely what is no longer serving me. I release it to create space for what inspires me.”

“And don't tell me there isn't one bit of difference between null and space, because that's exactly how much difference there is.”

“Well, you never knew exactly how much space you occupied in people's lives.”

“I’m haunted by all
the space that I
will live without
you.”

“Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.”

“‘By the second half of the nineteenth century, the importance of light and space as both metaphors or, and habitations for, the human self, or “the substance called the mind”, is absolute, especially with Tagore, who, in a letter in 1894 to his niece, would demand, not political freedom … but “more light, more space”.’”

“We have said that consciousness is an operation rather than a thing, a repository, or a function. It operates by way of analogy, by way of constructing an analog space with an analog ‘I’ that can observe that space, and move metaphorically in it. It operates on any reactivity, excerpts relevant aspects, narratizes and conciliates them together in a metaphorical space where such meanings can be manipulated like things in space.”

“If there's a locked door, I start to make up all kinds of stories about what might be behind it. I feel like it's some kind of secret, and it leads to me making up lies. But if all the doors are open, physically and metaphorically, there's only the one truth.”
