Jerzy Kasinski - Quote

"What we remember lacks the hard edge of fact. To help us along we create little fictions, highly subtle and individual scenarios which clarify and shape our experience. The remembered event becomes a fiction, a structure made to accomodate certain feelings. This is obvious to me. If it weren't for these structures, art would be too personal for the artist to create, much less for the audence to grasp. Even film, the most literal of all arts, is edited."

"Atlas Shrugged" - Ayn Rand

"Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgement and nothing can help you escape it -- that no substitute can do your thinking, as no pinch-hitter can live your life -- that the vilest form of self abasement and self destruction is the subordination of your mind to the mind of others, the acceptance of an authority over your brain, the acceptance of his assertions as facts, his say as truth, his edicts as middlemen between your consciousness and your existence."
