Thinking Circles Mirages

More From Lorraine Hansberry

Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.

I have drawn people's attention to the fact that art is a mirage. a mirage, just like the oasis that appears in the desert. it is very beautiful, until the moment when you die of thirst, obviously. but we do not die of thirst in the field of art. the mirage has substance.

The universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the earth. it (the community) cares for that part (of the earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.

Surely there is something to be said for drawing a circle around our attention and remaining within that circle. but how large should this circle be?

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

We are here to witness the creation and to abet it. we are here to notice each thing so each thing gets noticed. together we notice not only each mountain shadow and each stone on the beach but, especially, we notice the beautiful faces and complex natures of each other. we are here to bring to consciousness the beauty and power that are around us and to praise the people who are here with us. we witness our generation and our times. we watch the weather. otherwise, creation would be playing to an empty house.

I think making things beautiful is important. but often what's first considered ugly is beautiful, too.

So what’s it like to live without emotions? (geary) it’s hard. imagine a world without taste. a world where you can see the colors and all, but you can’t feel it. a beautiful clear day can never choke you up. a child’s laughter doesn’t make you smile. you don’t look at a bunny and think ‘how cute.’ you feel absolutely nothing. it’s like being wrapped in thick cotton all the time. (arik)

God must have loved afghans because he made them so beautiful.

[kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself; that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. without this philosophic attitude, his work would not have been possible.
