The balance between the hemispheres is essential for a coherent experience of the world.

Understanding requires empathy and an openness to experience.

Language is a tool that can both clarify and obscure meaning.

The left hemisphere is more concerned with what is known, while the right hemisphere is more concerned with what is possible.

Art is not an escape from reality; it is a deeper engagement with it.

In denying the right hemisphere, we risk losing depth and richness.

Language is not merely a tool for communication; it shapes our thoughts.

The left hemisphere's focus on analysis can lead to a fragmented view of life.

We are shaped by the culture we inhabit, but we also shape it.

Our perception shapes our reality.
