It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”

    Hermann Hesse
    “Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself....His task was to discover his own destiny - not an arbitrary one - and to live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of the masses, conformity and fear of one's own inwardness.”
    Herman Hesse

    Ray N. Kuili
    “She didn't like everything about her apartment, but she loved the view. In fact, that was one of the main reasons she decided to rent the place despite the price. There was nothing particularly special about it — there must have been thousands of equally affordable units out there with a better view of the New York skyline.
    But for her it wasn’t about iconic silhouettes of iconic buildings. Her window was giving her exactly the kind of view of the streets that she liked. Not too far, not too close, with the right mix of buildings nearby and a straight line of an avenue cutting through the city blocks and allowing to see far away. Depending on the mood, she could feel being in the busy crowd below or outside it. Which was just the way she liked it.”
    Ray N. Kuili, Friendship, Guaranteed

    Ray N. Kuili
    “This could be over soon, she thought. Devices without volition. We are used to imitation of sentience, but so far we have never confused it with the original. Until now. When does imitation become good enough to fool us? Has this already happened? And at what point does an imitation realize that it doesn't have to imitate? Or more importantly, when does it gain the capacity to realize anything? And have we already crossed that line?”
    Ray N. Kuili, Friendship, Guaranteed

    Ray N. Kuili
    “Another time, a host challenged his notion that art was being hijacked by art critics. “But you can’t be serious, Mr. Williamson,” she said with a smile, spreading her arms in disbelief. “It’s art critics who help us understand the value of art.”
    “Do you need a food critic to understand the value of your breakfast?” Herb Williamson asked.”

    Ray N. Kuili
    “Art is a part of the artist’s soul willed into independent existence. That’s why we can take things as different as a drawing, or a dance, or a poem, or a melody and call them all art.”
    Ray N. Kuili, The Recluse of Santa Fe
