When civilization takes a nose dive, how can you look away? You've got to be there. You've got to be at the bottom of the swimming pool taking notes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once I dive in, I dive in all the way.
I advise, if you're stymied by a passage or paragraph or plot point - whether it's for an assignment from the outside world or one that comes only from within - get up from wherever you're sitting, walk outdoors, and do nothing but look at the sky for five minutes. Just stare at that thing. Then execute a small bow and go back in.
Talk ought always to run obliquely, not nose to nose with no chance of mental escape.
Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.
Every time you dive, you hope you'll see something new - some new species. Sometimes the ocean gives you a gift, sometimes it doesn't.
This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.
I really believe that, as human beings, we have an innate need to explore, to see what's around the corner.
You have to just dive over the edge. You haven't got time to mess about.
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
