Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Misunderstanding may arise by confusing the buddhist and scientific definitions of death. within the scientific system you spoke quite validly of the death of the brain and the death of heart. different parts of the body can die separately. however, in the buddhist system, the word death is not used in that way. you'd never speak of the death of a particular part of the body, but rather of the death of an entire person. when people say that a certain person died, we don't ask, "well, which part died?"
Buddhist Heart People
Any object not interesting in itself may become interesting through becoming associated with an object in which an interest already exists. the two associated objects grow, as it were, together; the interesting portion sheds its quality over the whole; and thus things not interesting in their own right borrow an interest which becomes as real and as strong as that of any natively interesting thing.

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?

To begin depriving death of its greatest advantage over us, let us adopt a way clean contrary to that common one; let us deprive death of its strangeness, let us frequent it, let us get used to it; let us have nothing more often in mind than death... we do not know where death awaits us: so let us wait for it everywhere." "to practice death is to practice freedom. a man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave.
Men Practice Waiting
By 'coming to terms with life' i mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. it sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.

Contact with like-minded painters - a group means a great deal to me: nothing comes in isolation. we have worked out our ideas largely by talking them through. shutting myself away in the country, for instance, would do nothing for me. one depends on one's surroundings. and so the exchange with other artists - and especially the collaboration with lueg and polke - matters a lot to me: it is part of the input that i need.

I think theres just this mystique of writing a book that appeals to people. a person has to really check their motives and say, am i really being called by god to do this? or is this just something that would look neat in my funeral? i dont mean to be harsh but i think a person really needs to, so they wont be disappointed.
Book Writing Mean
We say we embrace humanity, but what does that mean? we are all defined by our limits, so to what extent can we embrace all this? because we all contain within ourselves equally the capacity for kindness, as much as for cruelty or evil. and the best of us are able to suppress those baser impulses, instincts. that's the war within.

Listening doesn't mean trying to understand. anything, however trifling, may be of use one day. what matters is to know something that others don't know you know.
