“But there is another, deeper and more important way of remembering: a form of memory that no one ever thought to dignify with a name. This is the memory of a past that has written itself on you, in your character and in the life on which you bring that character to bear. You are not, at least not typically, aware of these memories; often they are not even the sorts of things of which you can be conscious. But they, more than anything else, make you what you are. These memories are exhibited in the decisions you make, the actions you take and the life you thereby live.”

“Think of the wolf as the clearing in the forest. In the bowles of the forest, it may be too dark to see the trees. The clearing is the place that allows what was hidden to be uncovered. The wolf, I shall try to show, is the clearing in the human soul. The wolf uncovers what is hidden in the stories we tell about ourselves - what those stories show but do not say.”

- Mark Rowlands - The Philosopher and the Wolf.

“Instead, one is better to view the human geography in this area through a kind of customary kaleidoscope in which a small rotation of focus reveals different patterns of connection between people and land.”

I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you like it has a basket, a bell that rings and things that make it look good.

“A tree
doesn’t know it’s a tree.
It doesn’t know how pretty its flowers are,
or how beautiful they smell,
or how soft and sweet its fruit is.
It can’t feel how warm I am with my arms around it.
It can’t hear me when I tell it these things.
It doesn’t know anything.
I’m glad you’re not a tree.”

- Charlie Bucktin (JasperJones - Craig Silvey)

“But, see, that’s what I reckon God really is, Charlie. It’s that part inside me that’s stronger and harder than anything else. And I reckon prayer is just trustin in it, havin faith in it, just askin meself to be tough. And that’s all you can do. I don’t need a bunch of bullshit stories about towers and boats and floods or rules about sin. It’s all just a complicated way to get to that place in you, and it’s not honest either. I don’t need to trick meself into thinkin anyone else is listenin, or even cares. Because it doesn’t matter. I matter. And I know I’ll be alright. Because I got a good heart, and fuck this town for makin me try to believe otherwise.”

“The most exciting aspect of anthropology is, for me, the business of interpretation of patterns of both structure and culture that leads on to the discovery of those latent processes that, while generally uncomprehended, are, nonetheless, essential to the conduct of social life.”

“The problem with opposing the intervention as discriminatory is that it accepts “race” as the problem, rather than going the harder route of seeing race as a dimension which has played a role in the on-going structuring and reproduction of vulnerability, marginalisation and dependency.”

“If I say that it is impossible for me to keep quiet because that means disobeying the god, you will not believe me and will think I am being ironical. On the other hand, if I say that it is the greatest good for a man to discuss virtue every day and those other things about which you hear me conversing and testing myself and others, for the unexamined life is not worth living for men, you will believe me even less. What I say is true, gentlemen, but it is not easy to convince you.”

There’s a quote by Lao Tzu I once read that says to live in the past is to be depressed, to live in the future is to be anxious and to live in the present is to be at peace. I quite like this. Having spent a lot of my life caught up in an anxious web of dramatic manifestations of what is to…
