I'm trying to make order out of chaos, trying to find some way of rationalising the horrific things that people do or the way the world is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.
Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.
The world is a dysfunctional place in so many ways. It is unstable. So even though that chaos can be reflected in our own homes, I suppose we have to fight that by creating our own versions of safety, which can also turn into ignoring the state of the world.
Horrible things happen all our lives; we all experience loss and death and trauma. Usually, most people, I think, we just get on with it. We don't have a whole soliloquy in the middle of something.
Two dangers constantly threaten the world: order and disorder.
I feel compelled not to pass on a vision of bleakness, destruction or cynicism. I want to tell the truth as I see it, but I also have to believe that individuals - my kids, your kids, whoever - can do something about it, and I want to show the ways in which they can do something about it.
We adore chaos because we love to produce order.
I have great belief in the fact that whenever there is chaos, it creates wonderful thinking. I consider chaos a gift.
What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.
Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.
