Nin is the greatest lady ever.
" My greatest problem here, in a polemic-loving America, is my dislike of polemics, of billigerence, of battle. Even intellectually, I do not like wrestling matches. I do not like talk marathons. I do not like arguements, or struggles to convert others. I seek harmony. If it is not there, I move away."
Also.
" Why does every one here believe that by all of us thinking of nothieng else but the mechanics of living, of history, we will solve all problems?"
and then she adds " I don't think the American obsession with politics and economics has improved anything."
and this one... regarding our lack of contact, "now that we have reached a hastier and more superficial rhythm, now that we believe we are in touch with a greater amount of people, more countries. This is the illusion which might cheat us of being intouch deeply with the one breathing next to us. The dangerous time when mechanical voices, radios, telephones, take the place of human intimacies, and the concept of being in touch with millions brings a greater and greater poverty in intimacy and human vision."
fortune magazine from this week had an article that claims that people don't get anything done at work because they're constantly interupted.
I would like to claim that this is true and that I've gotten alot done by being home by myself all day!
