“Whenever we overcome the distance on the ground, the distance between humans and the ground increases. As a result, humans become estranged from the ground. The Internet and e-mail evaporate geography, and the ground itself completely.”
“지상의 거리를 극복할 때마다 인간과 땅 사이의 거리는 커져간다. 그리하여 인간은 땅에 대해 소원해진다. 인터넷과 전자우편은 지리를, 아예 땅 자체를 증발시킨다.”

“Today's time crisis goes back to a dyschronia that produces different temporal disturbances and misperceptions. Time is lacking a proper rhythm. That brings it out of synch. In a way, dyschronia makes time flutter. The impression that life is accelerating is really a sensation of time fluttering aimlessly.”
“오늘의 시간에는 질서를 부여하는 리듬이 없다. 그래서 시간은 혼란에 빠진다. 반시간성으로 인해 시간은 어지럽게 날아가 버린다. 삶이 가속화된다는 느낌은 실제로는 방향 없이 날아가 버리는 시간에서 오는 감정이다.”

“Inconvenience activates us as human beings. Our bodies are built to respond to resistance. We develop our muscles and lung capacity through repeated exercise and strenuous work. Our mental and emotional capacities are no different. As we acclimatize to convenience will it diminish our capacity for exploration and for navigating emotionally complex situations? When we sand the sharp edges off of our experiences, it allows us to forget that life is inherently weird and challenging.”
“불편함은 우리를 인간으로서 활성화시킨다. 우리의 몸은 저항에 대응하도록 만들어져 있다. 우리의 근육과 폐활량이 반복적인 운동과 고된 일을 통해 발달 되듯이, 우리의 정신적 능력과 정서적 능력 또한 그러하다. 그렇다면 우리가 편리함에 순응해 갈수록, 우리가 탐험하고 감정적으로 복잡한 상황을 헤쳐나갈 수 있는 역량 은 약화되는 것 아닐까? 우리가 스스로의 경험에서 날카로운 모서리를 없애버릴 수록, 우리는 삶이 본질적으로 이상하고 어렵다는 것을 잊어버릴 수 있다.”
