I feel like the vast majority of the world's problems would disappear if suddenly everyone on the planet were relatively self-aware and capable of honest self-love and compassion.
Over time I just realised the world is a very complicated place, and there is not a single structured belief system that adequately and comprehensively describes every aspect of our existence. So that is my new approach to life and spirituality - I don't know anything, except on a very naive and subjective level.
Though in many of its aspects this visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright.
There is a lot of music in the world that I love that does not always get the appropriate exposure.
Every single day the world seems like it is on the brink of falling apart. But then I look outside my window, and things look about the same as they did a week ago. It's almost a form of cognitive dissonance.
As long as the world continues to be strange and interesting, I still want to take pictures of it.
I'm obsessed with politics, and I talk about it any chance I can get. I have strong opinions about how the world should be run.
If there is true evil in the world - it is Republican conservatives.
The world is too big and too intricate to conform to our ideas of what it should be like... Just because we invent myths and theories to explain away the chaos we're still going to live in a world that's older and more complicated than we'll ever understand.
This whole world is run by brutes for the common and the stupid.
I'm just fascinated with the world that I can see, but I'm even more fascinated with the world that I can't see.
If you care about women's rights, you can't not vote.
When I was growing up, albums were my closest friends, as sad as that may sound - Joy Division's 'Closer,' or Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Heaven Up Here'... I had a more intimate relationship with those records than I did with most of the people in my life.
The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
