“How come we think we are irrefutably right all the time? What makes us show off our rightness so often? If we agree that we don't just perceive the world, but we frame it, we must admit that errors and misunderstandings arise. Due to the differences in lived reality, we become more open to dialogue and are less addicted to carved certainty. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”

“Why may writing letters be so intriguing, defying, or challenging? Why can it be so painful or stressful sometimes? Letters can become mirrors of our human condition, reflecting on fragility, resilience, vulnerability, hope, and the misunderstandings in our life experiences. ("Letter to unknown recipient “)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“How sure can we be of the soundness of what we think? We see things through the filters of our minds. Our perception is a product of our mind's interpretive framework. What we perceive is an interpretation soaked in context, memory, and partiality that arises from our conscious engagement with the world. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“What do we actually expect of our data processor? As our computers acquire interactive interfaces, voices, and adaptive behavior, we may be tempted to invest emotion in them, but they offer only simulation, which breeds intense irritation. It is like trying to love a mirror that won't love back. ("My computer does not understand me")”
