Belief is itself the true God-announcing miracle.

Belief is to be rejected: no one opinion is any more probable or likely than another.

Belief is a kind of trap, because if you belief something you are forever precluded from believing its opposite.

Belief is custom — many convictions are family hand-me-downs.

Fashion is more powerful than any tyrant.

Fashion is always about sex — it is not what you wear, it is how you take it off

Fashion is important — A bird is known by its feathers.

Fashion is not about clothing alone — we are taught to clothe our minds, as we do our bodies, after the fashion in vogue; and it is accounted fantastical, or something worse, not to do so.

Gesture is almost a language — there is language in some people's very gesture.

The Gesture is no more able to be recruited by an old man as a new idea.

Gesture is like a langauge — you can guess the past of a woman in the way she holds her cigarette, and the future of a man in the way he holds his drink.

The Gesture is wildly contextual — the man in ecstasy and the man drowning - both throw up their arms. The first to signify harmony, the second to signify strife with the elements.

The Idea is like a shadow; substantial enough until we try to grasp it.

An Idea is nothing unless it is public — Ideas are not truly alive if they remain locked in a single mind.

An Idea is like a child. No matter how much you like other people's, you can't help thinking your own are best.

The Idea , when new, hurts some minds for the same reason as new shoes hurt some feet.
