“Celebration of the Human Voice: When it is genuine, when it is born of the need to speak, no one can stop the human voice. When denied a mouth, it speaks with the hands or the eyes, or the pores, or anything at all. Because every single one of us...

“Celebration of the Human Voice: When it is genuine, when it is born of the need to speak, no one can stop the human voice.

(…) “We do understand why the world doesn’t run in reverse. There is a reason, we have a scientific explanation, and it´s called the arrow of time. We are compelled to travel into the future. And that´s because the arrow of time dictates that as each moment passes, things change. And once these changes have happened, they are never undone.

“Man is not the most majestic of the creatures; long before the mammals even, the dinosaurs were far more splendid. But he has what no other animal possesses: a jigsaw of faculties, which alone, over three thousand million years of life, made him creative. Every animal leaves traces of what he was. Man alone leaves traces of what he created.” Jacob Bronowski
