More From Denis Johnson

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

From the internal reality, by which i means the totality of psychological experiences, it [science] actually separates us. art, for example, deals with many more aspects of this internal reality than does science, which confines itself deliberately and by convention to the study of one very limited class of experiences the experiences of sense.
Art Mean Reality
The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.
Philosophy Reality Squares
All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experiences and have a meaning only in reference to these sense-experiences. on the other hand, however, they are products of the spontaneous activity of our minds; they are thus in no wise logical consequences of the contents of these sense-experiences. if, therefore, we wish to grasp the essence of a complex of abstract notions we must for the one part investigate the mutual relationships between the concepts and the assertions made about them; for the other, we must investigate how they are related to the experiences.
Wise Hope Wisdom
I got letters from people that have had peculiar psychic experiences, experiences with the dead - sometimes fairly tranquil experiences and sometimes very terrifying experiences. i do believe that a lot of them are sincere. i do believe, also, that some of them may be misguided. but, i think the majority of them have experienced something.
Believe Thinking Psychics
When we die to something, something comes alive within us. if we die to self, charity comes alive; if we die to pride, service comes alive; if we die to lust, reverence for personality comes alive; if we die to anger, love comes alive.

In architecture the pride of man, his triumph over gravitation, his will to power, assume a visible form. architecture is a sort of oratory of power by means of forms.
