More From John Ruskin

Gradually, ... the aspect of science as knowledge is being thrust into the background by the aspect of science as the power of manipulating nature. it is because science gives us the power of manipulating nature that it has more social importance than art. science as the pursuit of truth is the equal, but not the superior, of art. science as a technique, though it may have little intrinsic value, has a practical importance to which art cannot aspire.
Art Knowledge Science
There never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. there are many. these truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.
Art Hands Challenges
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

There is nothing to be known about anything except an initially large, and forever expandable, web of relations to other things. everything that can serve as a term of relation can be dissolved into another set of relations, and so on for ever. there are, so to speak, relations all the way down, all the way up, and all the way out in every direction: you never reach something which is not just one more nexus of relations.
Forever Way Speak
We need each other to do things that we can't do for ourselves. if we are intimately connected with each other, we just give things to each other; if we don't know each other we find another way to handle it. if you think about it, each according to his or her abilities and each according to his or her needs is sort of the same thing as supply and demand.

I like to think that it isn't weakness or evasion, but a final act of kindness, a stand against oblivion and despair.

Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. you don't think of it as just movies, but as a life.

Having said that, what i think we found, in doing the show, and in life, generally, is that the more you try to separate sex from everything else, it's impossible. you can't. the act of observation affects the actual experiment, and we see that in this.
