subjectivity

No. 1

How many times has a pear been painted, drawn or photographed, and for how many centuries or milleniums? It seems never enough. The pear is forever beautiful and original in its design.

This particular pear bears a label which I could not safely remove. It then occured to me how fitting it was, as man is always bent on trying to label things, and we who resist are equally as guilty for using those labels when it happens to be conveniant.

If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
