A Conversation with Martin de Maat (1998)

“We think of the world as containing particular things some of which are independent of ourselves; we think of the world's history as made up of particular episodes in which we may or may not have a part; and we think of these particular things and events as included in the topics of our common discourse, as things about which we can talk to each other. These are remarks about the way we think of the world, about our conceptual scheme. A more recognizably philosophical, though no clearer, way of expressing them would be to say that our ontology comprises objective particulars. It may comprise much else besides.”

P. F. Strawson (1919–2006) British philosopher

“If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.”

Marvin J. Ashton (1915–1994) Apostle of the LDS Church

“Art is the expression of the conviction that we can have a rational relationship with the world and each other. It isn't the faith or hope that we can, it is the demonstration that we can.”

Edward Bond (1934) English writer best known as a dramatist

Source: Programme note for We Come to the River (1976); cited from Lear (London: Methuen, 1983) p. xii.

“We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.”

Richard Rohr (1943) American spiritual writer, speaker, teacher, Catholic Franciscan priest

“I think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it.”

L. Frank Baum (1856–1919) Children's writer, editor, journalist, screenwriter

Aunt Jane’s Nieces and Uncle John (1911)
Novels published under the pseudonym Edith van Dyne
Context: I think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it. Those who turn sad faces toward the world find only sadness reflected. But a smile is reflected in the same way, and cheers and brightens our hearts. You think there is no pleasure to be had in life. That is because you are heartsick and — and tired, as you say. With one sad story ended you are afraid to begin another — a sequel — feeling it would be equally sad. But why should it be? Isn't the joy or sorrow equally divided in life?

“If we don't show ourselves the same amount of compassion we show others, we'll eventually come to resent the compassion we have for others. I think there's little enough compassion in the world right now, so we need to grow our own to compensate for that.”

Kate Bornstein (1948) American author, playwright, performance artist, and gender theorist

“I notice me. I notice you too.
And there are simple things that we don't even try anymore. There's a way out of this.
Beat the time.
And every time I turn around
we got some clever way to put each other down.”

Edie Brickell (1966) singer from the United States

“True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.”

Isocrates (-436–-338 BC) ancient greek rhetorician

“.. we will continue to despise people until we have recognized, loved, and accepted what is despicable in ourselves. So that, then we go down, what is it that is despicable in ourselves? And there are some elements despicable in ourselves, which we don't want to look at, but which are part of our natures, that we are mortal.”

Jean Vanier (1928–2019) Canadian humanitarian
