For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe inanimate objects have a spirit.
Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories; those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost.
I love bringing the inanimate object to life.
A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature are shot down wholesale.
The mark of a living thing is to be involved in opposites (impossibilities): the living cell that has to be continually adapting itself to stay alive, with its identity.
We do not merely perceive objects and hold thoughts in our minds: all our perceptions and thought processes are felt. All have a distinctive component that announces an unequivocal link between images and the existence of life in our organism.
The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon.
No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye.
Anything that's living is a machine. I'm a machine; my children are machines. I can step back and see them as being a bag of skin full of biomolecules that are interacting according to some laws.
