This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity.

A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.

Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.

Krishnamurti, Jiddu
