“Marie-Louise Mallet emphasizes the decreased control over the experience of listening as opposed to looking:To look is to choose one’s point of view. [ . . . ] To listen is to be “touched” without ever being able to touch what touches us, without being able to seize or retain it. [ . . . ] It is to hear what one listens to take its distance, lose itself like a fleeting echo. To listen is to not be able to maintain, to keep present. It is not being able to retain. It’s to not be able to come back. [ . . . ] What has been heard will be kept only in memory, that is, kept as lost, without ever assuring that we have heard well, without being able to reassure ourselves.”

“I hold in my hand a million ideas and more. But if I am puzzled as to why they have never leapt out of my hand and been birthed into the realities they were crafted to be, it is likely because the other hand has withheld the sacrifice that is necessary to birth an idea.”

“Which shoes are you going to put on, and where are you going to get them to take you TODAY?”

“It’s only a dream when your eyes are closed…”

“As for your vision,& what is or isn’t written,Stay faithful until it’s fateful.”

“Vision creates motivation.”

“Vision is your first creation of the future.”

“Inspiration opens windows to new possibilities, giving us vision with what we can do with our lives.”

“It is good to have your own vision, but it is dangerous not to run with it.”

“If you design a compelling future, it’s easier to push yourself because your vision will pull you.”

“We must work together on a common vision and a common goal.”

“You never have anything because you fought for nothing.”

“Let’s invent the machine that suddenly allows every person in the world to see the good in others”
